Is aluminum foil a better heat conductor than metal?
no because aluminum foil is a metal
Is a foil an insulator or conductor?
Aluminum foil can be use as both insulator and conductor. It can wrap and trap air inside cause thermal insulating effect but in other hand, aluminum itself is a conductor for evenly distribution of heat throughout the food. Aspect of substance fabricated is different from an insulation conduction aspect of a substance.
Is aluminum foil an insulator or a conductor of heat?
it is actually a conductor of heat and electricity. you can check by puting some foil on a piece of toast on a really hot day and if you wait a while it will turn into crispy toast.
Does aluminum foil attract heat?
answ2. Heat is not 'attracted' 'repelled' by anything.Polished aluminum foil will, and thus is a thermal insulator.Aluminium metal itself is a good conductor of heat.It will reflect the sunlight and retain the heat.
Can aluminum foil be used as a path for electricity to flow?
Yes but it's no the greatest conductor for long distances
Is aluminum foil a better heat conductor than metal?
no because aluminum foil is a metal
Is aluminum foil a conductor or insulator?
Insulator or conductor depending on the circumstances. Aluminum foil conducts heat, but it cuts off air flow and reduces evaporation of fluids. Aluminum foil reflects and thus minimizes radiation transmission. With foods it is more useful as an insulator. It also acts as an insulator on windows. But, aluminum is definitely a good heat conductor.
Is aluminum foil a good conductor for electricity or heat?
ya
What are simularities between aluminum foil and aluminum screen?
The simularities between aluminum foil and aluminum screen is that they are both aluminum. They are also both a conductor. They both are a redish brown colour and are quite flexible.
Is floil an insulator or a conductor?
What is floil? Do you mean aluminum foil? If so, metals conduct heat fairly well.
Is aluminum foil an insulator or a conductor?

It can wrap and trap air inside cause thermal insulating effect but in other hand, aluminum itself is a conductor for evenly distribution of heat throughout the food. Aspect of substance fabricated is different from an insulation conduction aspect of a substance.
Is tin foil flamable?
That's what they say so it is!
Does aluminum foil cunduct heat?
yes but it is poor conductor so yes it does.
What keep things colder aluminum foil or plastic wrap?
If the object is warm to begin with, aluminium foil, as it is a metal and so will conduct the heat out into the environment. (Metals feel cold because they are good conductors and so conduct the heat out of you when you touch them). If the object is cold to begin with, plastic wrap, as it is a poor donductor and will not allow heat from the environment to enter the object easily. (Plastics feel warm because they do not conduct the heat away when you touch them).
Is plastic wrap a good conductor to keep things cold?
No its not. Why? Because plastic wrap doesn't connect to coldness or warmness i was to wrap something to keep it cold it would be aluminum foil doesn't conduct any heat
Does foil conduct electricity?
If it's a metallic foil, it will conduct electricity in most cases. Aluminum, copper, gold, etc.
Is a foil an insulator or conductor?
Aluminum foil can be use as both insulator and conductor. It can wrap and trap air inside cause thermal insulating effect but in other hand, aluminum itself is a conductor for evenly distribution of heat throughout the food.
