Best Answer

Never apply butter or any substance to a burn. Butter contains oil, and it also contains bacteria.

Apply ice water, do not wrap the burn. You can loosely apply a wet, clean cloth, access the burn. If you feel you need medical attention, go to the hospital.

If you don't need medical attention, do not break the blister. Generally small blisters can be broken, but why. It's better to leave it alone because the dermis underneath is protected in a clean sterile bubble. If you break it, it could get infected. If the blister does break, keep it clean, especially if its on your hands, because your hands get into a number of dirty situations. Keep it clean like any other wound and stop squeezing it, leave it alone.

What large materials are good thermal conductors and good electrical conductors?

from wiedemann franz law we know that thermal conductivity/electrical conductivity=constant that is sigma inv. proportional to k thus a material having large electrical conductivity has low thermal conductivity and moreover we know R=pL/A p=RA/L 1/P=L/RA i.e lower area means greater conductivity(electrical) and lower thermal conductivity


What is the conductivity of material materials?

Thermal Conductivity is analogous to electrical conductivity. To calculate electrical resistance look-up rho (resistivity). For Copper rho = 1.68�10-8 Ohms-meter Resistance = resistivity (rho) � length/area For thermal conductivity "k" (Watts/m°C) is the coefficient of thermal conduction. Heat transfer (Watts) = k � area/thickness � temperature difference.
