Is wool conductor of heat?
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
Is cotton wool a good conductor of heat?
its a good insulator, meaning that yes, it is a good non-conductor. Materials that insulate heat, eg wool, cotton etc, are also by definition good electrical insulators. Good conductors would include most metals, which you may have noticed are bad insulators. you wouldn't wear metal underwear anyway!
Is Iron a conductor or insulator of electricity?
Note: current is conducted, not "electricity". Electricity covers all things and phenomenon electrical. Iron is a conductor.
Is cork an conductor or an insulator?
Is wool a conductor or an insulator
How does a material such as wool affect heat absorption?
when heat gets transferred along objects it is called conduction, different substances are better at conducting heat than others. for example, metals are good heat 'conductors' because the vibrating particles transfer energy along the metal object fast. but certain objects don't conduct heat very well and are called 'insulators'. an example of an insulator is wool, mainly because wool traps quite alot of air, and air is a terrible conductor due to how much the particles are spaced out.

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.
Is wool as good a insulator when wet?
No because water is a good conductor of heat in comparison to wool.
Is steel wool a conductor?
steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither
Is wool a heat conductor or insulator?
wool is a insulator

Which animal fibre will you prefer to wear during winters and why?
I would like to prefer the wool fibre which is obtained from the fleece of the sheep and it is the good conductor of heat
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.
What chemical change produces light and heat?
steel wool burns in oxegen and produces heat and light
How does a 9-volt battery catch steel wool on fire?
Electricity is energy. Energy can be different things. We have movement as an energy, kinetic energy that is. Then there is, amongst others heat, as an energy. Electricity must be in a circuit to work. When putting the 9volt battery in the steel wool you make a circuit. Then the electricity will flow through the steel wool. When the electricity is not being used by anything (no light bulbs or anything), it is being converted to heat energy. Steel wool burns easily, so the heat will easily ignite the steel wool.
