What else can I help you with?
What do you call a material that is poor conductor of heat or electricity?
An insulator.
Is a poor conductor of heat?
Most metals are good conductors of heat, but lead and stainless steel are exceptions. Air is a poor conductor of heat as are fibrous or layered materials. Cloth made from cotton or asbestos or sisal would be poor conductors. Mica would be an example of a layered material that is poor. In most thermal insulators, all you are buying is still air, because still air is (almost) the poorest conductor of heat among the simple materials. Hence the construction of most thermal insulators.
Is wood a poor heat conductor?
Wood is a poor conductor of heat.
Why is ceramic a good material for making cooker hob?
Because it is a poor conductor of heat
Is Fahrenheit a poor conductor of heat?
Fahrenheit is a unit of measure of temperature. It is not a material and therefore has nothing to do with the conduction of heat.
What is the ability called when heat or electricity passes through?
Conductor Some materials are conductors of Heat OR Electricity. But the property is not the same for one material; example glass is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity.
Is carbon a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Carbon is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
Is a material that is a poor conductor a poor insulator?
Not necessarily. A material could be a poor conductor but a good insulator, depending on how well it can trap and slow down the movement of heat or electricity. It's possible for a material to have low conductivity but still be effective at blocking the transfer of energy.
Is wood a conductor of heat?
Yes, wood is a poor conductor of heat compared to metals. This is because wood is a less dense material with air pockets that hinder the transfer of heat.
Is wood is a conductor?
Wood is not a conductor for electricity. IT is actually a good insulator.
Why air is poor conductor of heat?
air is poor conductor of heat because we can,t feel
Is rhodium a good conductor of heat or electricity?
Rhodium is an excellent conductor of electricity.
