What material best transfer heat?
Metals are known to be good conductors of heat as well as good conductors of electricity. Diamond is an exception though, being one of the best thermal conductors but a very poor electrical conductor.
What is the meaning of good conductor of heat?
It is a material which can transfer heat through conduction.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
What do you call something that allows heat or electricity to pass through it?
A material that allows heat or electricity to pass through it is called a conductor. The opposite of that is called an insulator. For electricity, the wire inside is the conductor, while the plastic on the outside is an insulator.
How does air a bad conductor of heat help in winter?
Foam material makes good insulation.
What is the ability called when heat or electricity passes through?
Conductor Some materials are conductors of Heat OR Electricity. But the property is not the same for one material; example glass is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity.
Is a styrofoam a good conducter of heat or a bad conductor of heat?
It is a bad conductor of heat, that is why it is used as an insulating material.
What is a conducted?
A material which is a good conductor of electricity or heat.
What material best transfer heat?
Metals are known to be good conductors of heat as well as good conductors of electricity. Diamond is an exception though, being one of the best thermal conductors but a very poor electrical conductor.
A material that is a good thermal conductor would?
A material that is a good thermal conductor would hold in a lot of heat. These thermal conductors would also transfer heat easily.
What is the meaning of good conductor of heat?
It is a material which can transfer heat through conduction.
Which material is a electrical insulator but a good conductor of heat?
bakelite
What type of material is good at transfering heat?
Thermal conductor, such as water
What do you call a material that conducts heat well?
A material with a good thermal conductivity or a thermal conductor.
Wht is a good thermal conductor?
A good thermal conductor is a piece of material that conducts heat fast. This means it accepts heat readily but it also looses heat at the same rate of change.
What is the meaning of conductor?
A good type of material that transfers heat or electricity well.
What are materials called which allow heat through?
It is called conductivity
