Platinum is a good conductor (though not a fantastic one ... it has a resistivity of about seven times that of silver or copper). This makes it an extremely poor insulator.In fact, platinum is sometimes used as an electrode in certain applications, due to its low reactivity to most compounds.
Platinum is a metal element. So platinum is a good conductor. Therefor it cannot be used as an insulator.
What else can I help you with?
What is the most important metal there is?
Gold, platinum or palladium, all are great heat insulators, and all of them are very rare and have no real substitutes for the applications they are used for.
How do insulators keep you safe?
insulators or insulation does not permit electricity to flow through you.
Is platinum a good insulator?
Platinum is not a good insulator because it is a metal and metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity. Insulators are materials that do not conduct electricity or heat well, whereas platinum is known for its high thermal and electrical conductivity.
What is the function of arching horns in the insulators?
These horns are used to protect the bushing on transformers. The horns also form a sparking gap for the insulators.
What materials is platinum used in?
Platinum is used in many jewellery.
What are some heat insulators?
Some heat insulators are fiberglass, polyurethane foam, and polystyrene. Two other thermal insulators used as insulating materials in building construction are mineral wool and cellular glass.
Is a bird a insulator?
No, birds are not insulators. Insulators are materials that do not conduct electricity and are used to prevent the flow of electricity. Birds are living organisms and do not serve the same purpose as insulators in electrical applications.
What name is used for materials which do not let heat past them?
Insulators
How many disk insulator used for 132kv?
9 insulators
Substance in between conductors and insulators used in transistors?
Semiconductors
How are insulators used in everyday life?
they keep your house warm
What are things that make use of conductors and insulators?
Conductors, such as metals, are used in electrical wiring to conduct electricity efficiently. Insulators, such as rubber and plastic, are used to coat electrical wires to prevent electric shock and short circuits. Insulators are also used for building materials to maintain temperature and prevent heat transfer.
