Which of the following has the highest thermal conductivity ?
Correct answer: D. Silver
- A. Brick
- B. Air
- C. Water
- D. Silver
Explanation
Silver has a very high thermal conductivity because its free electrons transport energy efficiently. Air and brick are poor conductors, while water conducts better than air but far less than silver.
