Because most of the orchestras in the world can play together without any conductor. You are there to help them play better musically, and help them make a sound that is more coherent, that makes more sense from the composer’s point of view.” How does a conductor control an orchestra?Read More →

Without a conductor, each musician would resort to his or her own individual opinion. … Sometimes, especially in the case of piano pieces, the conductor can give enough guidance by playing the solo part and can “conduct from the piano”, but this isn’t common. Do musicians watch the conductor? ARead More →

Solids conduct heat better than liquids, which are in turn better conductors than gases. … In a gas, the particles are far apart, making energy transfer by collision very inefficient (Fig. 5c). Thus gases, like air, are very poor conductors of heat. Can gaseous metals conduct electricity? Metal vapors doRead More →

The solution of sodium chloride in water is a good conductor of electricity because of the ions that act as the charge carriers. … This difference in electronegativity forms a crystalline solid structure of positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chloride ions. Is chloride electrically conductive? In the solidRead More →

Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because it does not contain any dissolved salts in it which can provide it ions to conduct electricity. What causes conductivity in water? Salts dissolve in water to produce an anion and a cation. These ions make up the basis of conductivityRead More →
