Which of the following is used in heat sink_____________?
Correct answer: B. Aluminium
- A. Iron
- B. Aluminium
- C. Carbon
- D. Silver
Explanation
Aluminium is widely used for heat sinks because it combines good thermal conductivity, low weight, corrosion resistance and low cost. Silver conducts heat better but is far too expensive for ordinary heat sinks.
