    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.
