A heat conductor readily conducts thermal energy; an insulator inhibits flow of thermal energy.
The base,main part of the pan and the bits that need to be insulators are the holder on the lid and the handle
Because its an excellent thermal conductor. Iron and aluminum help gather and store the heat used for cooking
Thermal Conducter
Thermal Conducter
heat is thermal energy. A conductor allows heat or electricity to pass through it.
Wood is a thermal insulator. It is a poor conductor of heat.
The thermal conductivity of a perfect conductor is 1
By measurements of the electrical (or thermal) conductivity.
Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.
aluminum saucepan
Aluminum is a conductor of thermal energy and electrical energy.
