Is fabric insulator or conductor?
it's an insulator. conductors are things like metals or salts.
Why is tin not a good insulator?
This is because tin is an excellent conductor of heat, meaning, heat passes right through it. So if you are trying to keep something hot from getting cold, the heat will escape and if you are trying to keep something cold from melting then heat will get in and melt it.
Is rubber a conductor?
No it is an extremely poor conductor, being thought of as a good insulator, but if electricity at a high enough voltage , and the rubber trying to protect the current from escaping is too thin, then the current can jump across the insulation gap. Fortunately the manufacturers of electric cables, switches, dynamos and other everyday products like electric kettles, light fittings, the wiring of a house or a car know very well how much insulation is needed in whatever they make.Workers involved with electrics will wear rubber shod boots, or stand on rubber mats, wear rubber gloves or other insulating materials, and why their tools are specially made; such as a screwdriver with a plastic handle, or wire cutters with insulated handles.If you mean a conductor of electricity then no its not

Is a wooden spoon a conductor or insulator?
Wood is an insulator. Think about it; when you put a wooden or plastic spoon in boiling water, does it burn your hand? No. This is because it slows the flow of heat from the water to your hand. I do not suggest trying the same thing with a metal spoon, which is a good conductor.
Is water a the best or poorest thermal conductor?
tbh i have been trying to figure this out for quiet some time now but still have no idea! can anyone help me too on this question. thank you.

Is a newspaper a good conductor or insulator?
A newspaper is a poor conductor of electricity due to its high resistance to electric current flow. However, it is also not a good insulator as it can conduct heat and allow it to pass through easily.
Is a silver spoon better conductor than a balloon filled with helium?
A very good conductor.
Give the name of five insulator?
i dont know i'm trying to ask you
What was Angus tuck trying to explain tho Winnie at the pond?
Angus was trying to explain to Winnie that when you drank the water you would always be a kid
What was Buddha trying to explain or escape form?
The Buddha was trying to find the answer to suffering.
One material that is used as a conductor and one that is used as an insulator?
A good insulator material is rubber and can block heat and electricity from almost anything. Glass is a good insulator too if you are trying to insulate electricity. Plastic is good as well. Most metals are OK conductors. Copper is very good, and Gold is the best, but it is heavy and expensive.
How does one charge a conductor negatively if you have only a positively charged rod?
1ST. ground the conductor 2nd. move the positive rod CLOSE but NOT TOCUH the conductor u r trying to charge. 3. REMOVE the grouding wire on the conductor
What colour is a ghost on a thermal camera?
A thermal camera can be very tricky to use when your trying to use it. but if you want to know the color of a ghost or even anything on a thermal camera, it's always red, orange, green, purple, or yellow!
