Why is corrugated cardboard a good insulator?
Yes! It is a good insulator. I have used it recently in a science project.
Why is cardboard a bad insulator?
The problem with using cardboard as an insulator is that it is too easily damaged in a variety of ways. It tears easily, it can be set on fire relatively easily, it absorbs water very easily and it will disintegrate or become moldy, if it does get wet. So although cardboard is an insulator, it is not durable enough for most purposes that require an insulator.
Is cardboard a insulator or conductor?
Cardboard is an insulator in dry state.But when it is wet it can conduct electricity
Why is foam a good sound insulator?
Because it absorbs the sound but not all of the sound. :)
Is cardboard a thermal insulator?
yes

What type of paper is the best insulator of heat?
Don't know if it is the best but Newspaper is a very good insulator and generally easy and cheap or free to get. Cardboard is alo very good.
Is cardboard a thermal insulator?
yes
Why is a carpet a very good sound insulator?
It is not. It is a conductor of sound because it absorbs the sound.
Is a good sound insulator?
paper or foam cups
Is steel conductor or insulator?
insulator
Is cardboard a good conductor of electricity?
Cardboard is an insulator of electricity. It is not the best insulator to use for this as cardboard can be affected by moisture and any corrosion of nearby batteries. If it becomes wet with an electrolyte solution (such as salt water), it could become a conductor under certain conditions.To test this, put a battery and a light in series and leave the contacts open between the light and the battery. Then touch the wire to the cardboard and the cardboard to the battery. The light will not light up.
Is water a good sound insulator?
A vacuum is a great sound insulator. Materials that absorb energy such as wool are good insulators as well. I heard of a silicone adhesive that transformed acoustic energies into heat - that was a good insulator if it was used to glue two sheets of something together.
What makes an insulator insulate?
A material that insulates, especially a nonconductor of sound, heat, or electricity. A device that insulates another material or space from something. For instance glass is a good insulator from electricity. The electrons will not flow through glass. Cork is a good insulator from sound. Sound waves have a hard time passing through cork. Wood is a good insulator from heat.
