at conductivities in twometals consists in placing two similar bars of the metals end to end. SmallIjalls of wood or marble are attached to the bars—at equal distances fromthe junction—by means of wax. When the junction is heated by a Bunsenburner, heat travels along each of the bars, and where a… … Fig. 390 the copper than from the iron. The conclusion is that copper is a betterconductor of heat than iron. What the experiment really shows is therelative rates at which a particular temperature travels along the rods. Ifthe specific heats of the two metals were very different, it might be that…
