Question

Which one of the following is the best conductor of heat?

A.

Water

B.

Mercury

C.

Wood

D.

Leather

Correct option is B

Mercury, being a metal in liquid form, has a relatively high thermal conductivity for a liquid, around 8.3 W/m·K.

Water: While water can conduct heat, it is not as efficient as metals. Water is a less efficient conductor compared to metals.

Wood: Wood is a poor conductor of heat and is often used as an insulator to prevent heat transfer.

Leather: Like wood, leather is also a poor conductor of heat and is used for insulation purposes.
