I'll comment again on your wording. This is not to be pedantic, but I think that it is at the source of your confusion. Current is not something that starts flowing at one end of a circuit and moves along, like water would in an initially empty pipe. The current will depend on the overall circuit.Swim said:If some current is traveling from a low conductivity metal to a high conductivity metal, does it impose limitations on the high conductivity metal such that it will only do as much as the low conductivity metal?
The conductivity of one metal can affect the conductivity of another in a few different ways. If the two metals are in close proximity or in contact with each other, their conductivity can be influenced by the flow of electrons between them. Additionally, the type and amount of impurities in one metal can impact the conductivity of another metal when they are mixed or alloyed together.
Yes, some metals can have a negative impact on the conductivity of other metals when they are mixed or alloyed together. This is because some metals have a higher resistance to the flow of electrons, which can hinder the conductivity of other metals in the mixture.
Yes, the conductivity of one metal can be improved by mixing it with another metal. This is often done through the process of alloying, where two or more metals are combined to create a new material with improved properties, including conductivity.
The size and shape of a metal can have some impact on its conductivity limitations on another metal. For example, a larger piece of metal may have a higher conductivity than a smaller piece, and a metal with a more complex shape may have a lower conductivity than a simpler shape.
Yes, there are many other factors that can affect the conductivity limitations of one metal on another. These can include temperature, pressure, and the presence of other materials or substances. Additionally, the chemical properties and composition of the metals can also play a role in their conductivity limitations.
