What else can I help you with?
Is a jacket a conductor or insulator?
A jacket is typically an insulator, as it is meant to provide warmth by trapping body heat and preventing heat loss to the environment. It does not conduct electricity like a conductor would.
Is a down jacket a conductor or a insulator?
A down jacket is an insulator. Down feathers trap air in between them, which creates a layer of insulation that helps to keep the body warm by preventing heat loss.
What is the purpose of the outer jacket on a fractionating column?
The outer jacket on a fractionating column is used to insulate against heat loss from the inner jacket during distillation.
How does insulate heat?
An insulator is scientifically speaking a poor conductor therefor it will not readily transfer the heat out of the object in question. The heat then bounces back in the case of a body with a jacket on (the insulator) accumulating since the body is constantly creating more heat.
Why is a jacket a good insulator?
As we know, a jacket is made up of many layers. We know that air is an insulator and hence doesn't let air out of the jacket nor in the jacket. Hence the jacket helps keep us warm. The fundamentals is that air is an insulator and jackets trap a layer of air between us and the outside environment.
Is potato an insulator of heat?
a potato is not an heat insulator because it's skin,but if you take the skin off it will be a heat insulator
Is sponge a good heat insulator?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
Is nitrogen a good insulator of heat?
Nitrogen is not a good insulator of heat. It is a poor conductor of heat, but it is not an effective insulator as it does not trap heat well and can easily transfer heat through convection or conduction.
An object that can transfer heat easily is an?
An insulator. More specifically, a thermal (heat) insulator, as opposed to an electrical insulator, which suppresses the flow of electricity.
What is a good insulator and why?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
What does the term 'insulator' means?
insulator is a object that is not a good conductorSo it keeps the heat in.
What does a heat insulator do?
. A insulator is an element in the genetic code.
