mica is a plastice, so it is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
Mica is a mineral, not a plastic. But you're correct about its insulating properties.

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 Helium a good or poor conductor of heat?
helium is an insulator (poor conductor) of heat
Is wood is a conductor?
Wood is not a conductor for electricity. IT is actually a good insulator.
