Yes, it seems to be that as I tested the temperature of rice when heated, it turned out to be 244.4 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, other materials did not work as well because of its inability to insulate heat.

What would you expect to make a good insulator?
a poor thermal conductor.
If you were trying to heat soup would you want to use a good thermal conductor or a good thermal insulator Explain your answer.?
Conductor. You're trying to move heat, not block it.
Is metal the best thermal insulator?
Metal is a very poor thermal (and electrical) insulator. It is a good conductor of heat (and electricity, obviously). Copper (a metal) is one of the best thermal conductors known to man--most laptops use pieces of copper to transfer the heat from the processor and graphics chips to the heatsync (typically aluminum), where the fan can remove the heat. Materials like foam, rubber, etc. are good thermal insulators (think of pot holders...).
Is a toothpick a conductor or a insulator?
If the toothpick is made of wood or plastic, it would act as an insulator.
Are bulletin boards conductors or insulators?
go with what your gut tells you...i would guess insulator
An example of a insulator?
An insulator has several different meanings. The two most common are an electrical insulator and a thermal insulator. an electrical insulator would be polyethylene. a thermal insulator would be wool.
What would you expect to make a good insulator?
a poor thermal conductor.
Which these would you expect to make a good insulator?
a poor thermal conductor
Which of these would you expect to make a good insulator?
a poor thermal conductor
Is a china cup a thermal insulator?
with so many other things out there to use as an insulator it would seem a very bad choice, but yes it would bea good insultor, electricity will not flow through it.
Find out name of things which work as conductor and insulator?
One electrical conductor is gold. An insulator would be rubber as it is what keeps people from getting electrocuted on wires A thermal conductor can be any metal. A thermal insulator is tin foil.
Would wool be a thermal insulator when hill walking?
yes it would as wool reduces heat loss from your body
Which thermal insulator would have the least effect tin foil or brown paper or bubble wrap?
Tin foil is not a thermal insulator and so is irrelevant to the question.Bubble wrap is a better insulator at low temperatures but as the temperature increases bubble wrap will simply melt and provide no insulation at all.
What does the words thermal conductor?
thermal - heat/cold temputures conductor - something that lets things like temputer or eletricity be flowing through it an insulator is the opposite and doesnt let things like temputer or electricy flow through it conductor would be copper insulator would be wood
What is the job of an insulator?
Thermal insulator, prevent heat loss and protect human or machine from heat. Electrical insulator, prevent human and machine from electrical hazard and prevent short circuit that would damage electrical appliance.
If you were trying to heat soup would you want to use a good thermal conductor or a good thermal insulator Explain your answer.?
Conductor. You're trying to move heat, not block it.
In order to decrease the amount of thermal energy that moves from one place to another you would use a?
Maybe you would, but an 'insulator' would do a much better job.
