Which of the following has maximum thermal conductivity ?
Correct answer: A. Iron
- A. Iron
- B. Coal
- C. Nitrogen
- D. Tar
Explanation
Iron has a much higher thermal conductivity than coal, nitrogen, or tar, allowing heat to pass through it more readily. The other listed materials are comparatively poor conductors.
