Is glass a conductor or insulator of thermal or electrical energy?
Glass is an insulator of both energies. It does not conduct thermal energy because only it's surface warms up. It does not conduct electrical energy because its atoms do not have free electrons, which cause this process in metals.
Does Glass insulate heat well?
Glass is a relatively bad insulator of heat. If you touch a piece of glass that is colder than your body temperature, it will feel cold, because it will conduct away your body heat; but touch a piece of wood, even if the wood is at the same temperature as the glass, and it would feel warmer because it is a good insulator of heat. Wool is even better.
Does a glass dish conduct or insulate electricity?
Glass is one of the best insulating materials there is. It is used for insulators on power line to isolate the energized lines from the poles that support the wire. As the voltage increases the insulators can be ganged together to increase the insulation factor.
What is material that is often used to insulate wires that conduct electricity called?
plastic
Why is double glazing used to insulate?
Double glazing is used to insulate homes because it traps the cold air inside the to glass windows
Does an animals fat conduct or insulate thermal energy?
it insulates ans keeps it in
What metals insulate electricity?
Metals actually conduct electricity, not insulate them. Some metals conduct better than others, but the point is that metals don't insulate heat or electricity at all.Glucose rubber cold glass and water
How does a conductor conduct?
A conductorHeat and energy. An Insulatorcould insulate heat, energy, and even sound! There is even a thing called superconductor
Does a layer of animals fat conduct or insulate thermal energy?
it insulates thermal anergy and keeps the warm in
Does Kevlar conduct or insulate?

Do table mats insulate or conduct heat?
They would normally insulate the table from the heat of the plate, otherwise there isn't much point having them!
What is the antonym for conduct?
If you mean the scientific meaning, then insulate is its antonym.If you mean conduct as in lead, such as leading a band, the follow is the antonym.
