Is straw a good conductor of heat?
No it is not a good conductor of heat☺ Hope so it will
Why is an insulator never a good conductor?
Because insulators are the opposite of conductors and therefore electricity and heat do not pass through good insulators.
A material that is not a good conductor of heat is a called an?
Insulator, same as for electricity. An example of insulators (of heat) is Styrofoam.
Is a stick a conductor or a insulators?
An insulator for heat and (less so) for electricity. A conductor for sound and vibration.
What are of good heat conductors and insulators?
a good conductor would be any sort of metal like copper and an insulator would be rubber or glass
Is straw a good conductor of heat?
No it is not a good conductor of heat☺ Hope so it will
Are diapers good insulators?
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
What isn't a good conductor of heat?
Insulators, such as wood aren't very good conductors of heat.
Why is an insulator never a good conductor?
Because insulators are the opposite of conductors and therefore electricity and heat do not pass through good insulators.
A material that is not a good conductor of heat is a called an?
Insulator, same as for electricity. An example of insulators (of heat) is Styrofoam.
Is ceramics a good heat conductor?
Ceramics are good insulators. They keep heat well because they have a lot of air trapped in them.
Why don't metal keep heat well?
Because it is a good conductor and if you are a good conductor you are a poor insulator. Insulators, keep heat in and, conductors let heat pass through them easily.
Is a copper nail an insulators?
Copper is a very good conductor for heat and electricity.
Which is not a good conductor of heat?
elements with low thermal conductivity are called insulators. they cannot transfer heat in an efficient way. they are not good conductors.
What is a good conductor and a good insulator?
Good conductors, of heat and electricity are metals such as copper and silver. Good insulators are vacuums, wood and plastics.
What are heat retaining objects?
Styrofoam and other similar insulators retain a good amount of heat. Anything composed of metal is a conductor and will move heat through it.
Is a stick a conductor or a insulators?
An insulator for heat and (less so) for electricity. A conductor for sound and vibration.
