Is a pillow a conductor or insulator?
Insulator.
Is a seashell a conductor or insulator?
conductor
A wooden spoon is it a insulator or a conductor?
conductor!!!!! ;))
Why is plastic on power socket?
It may be a plastic, or it may be Bakelite (a phenolic resin product) but either way, it is there because is is not a conductor, but an insulator. It protects you, the user, from electrical shock.
Ballpen is insulator or conductor?
Its a insulator
Which material is a electrical insulator but a good conductor of heat?
bakelite
Does bakelite is a poorest insulator?
The poorest insulator would be the best conductor, which is one of the noble metals. Bakelite is a fairly good insulator, not too long ago electrical fittings were made from it.
Is bakelite insulator or conductor?
It depends, if the Bakelite is dry, it won't conduct electricity, however if it is wet and a high enough voltage is applied to it, it might conduct electricity.
Is Bakelite an electrical conductor?
All materials can conduct some electricity. Bakelite, by Westinghouse, is considered an insulator in ambient conditions because it has specific resistivity in the range of many megohms per unit volume. Depending on the physical shape of the Bakelite and the amount of voltage impressed upon it, Bakelite may break down (loose its insulating properties). Under normal industrial conditions Bakelite is considered an insulator.
How can you make Bakelite into a conductor of electricity?
Clean and dry Bakelite is a such a good insulator it would not be possible to use it to make a conductor of electricity.However if the piece of Bakelite was sprayed with water all over and a high enough voltage was applied to it, the water (not the Bakelite) would conduct electricity.Another possible answer is that if the Bakelite was made as thin as, say, some cigarette paper, and if a very high voltage was put across its thickness, the Bakelite would then break down and it would no longer be a good insulator. The burnt Bakelite could then conduct an electric current. Probably several hundreds or even thousands of volts would be needed to do that, but the resulting burnt stuff is not the same material as the clean and dry Bakelite we started with!The simple answer is bake it in a very hot oven (e.g. ≥500F) until it chars. The carbon in the charred Bakelite conducts.Warning: the charing process will generate smoke, which will both trigger your smoke alarm and make breathing very difficult! Please don't try this.
