Is a good insulator?
cotton wool
What is a good thermal insulator?
cotton wool
Is wool a heat conductor or insulator?
wool is a insulator
Is cotton wool a conductor of electricity or an insulator?
Cotton wool is not a conductor or an insulator it is a semi conductor. It is sort of in the middle, electrons can travel through cotton wool but not as good as silver, bronze, metal and so on.
Is wool a good conductor or is a good insulator?
wool holds lot of air.air being bad conductor of heat make the wool a good conductor of heat.
Why is cotton-wool a good insulator?
It has lots of air trapped between its fibres. Air itself is a good insulator, so trapped air is going to prevent heat transfer. Cotton is a very good insulator as long as it stays dry. There are thousands of tiny air spaces between the fibers that slow the transmission of heat or cold. That is why jackets or even T-shirts feel like good protection from the cold when outside.
Is cottom wool a good insulator?
Cotton wool has a very low density and has thousands of pockets to trap air in. Because of this, cotton wool is a good insulator, but there are others that are better. As a rule of thumb, the lower the density, the better the insulator. There are virtually no exceptions to this.
What is the best insulator wool or cotton?
wool i think.
Is wool a good heat insulator?
yes and no it depends on what wool and what you want to insulate ?
Why is a wool a good insulator?
it is a good insulator because its a warm and keeps heat in by trapping it with air
Is wool as good a insulator when wet?
No because water is a good conductor of heat in comparison to wool.
Which material would be a better insulator when wet-denim cotton polyester or wool?
Heat insulation would be wool. Note that denim is normally made of cotton, or a cotton/polyester blend. None of them would be very good electrical insulation when wet.
