an insulator eg. rubber
What else can I help you with?
Why are concrete blocks used as thermal storage heaters?
The blocks heat up and, when the electricity is automatically turned off, the heat is slowly released into the home from the blocks over a long time.
Why do water heaters hum?
That humming is electricity flowing through the heating elements causing them to heat up.
What is the difference between isolator and circulator?
Isolator is something which blocks current or heat. Where as Circulator is something through which heat and electricity can pass.
Do you need an insulator to keep electricity flowing?
An insulator prevents electricity from flowing.
What is the name of flowing electricity?
Flowing electricity is called electric current.
Electricity that is not flowing?
. . is called static electricity.
What controls the flowing of electricity?
The flowing of electricity (amperage) is governed by the internal resistance of the connected device.
Why do wires get hot?
Wires get hot because of the resistance they have to the flow of electricity. When electricity passes through a wire, some of the energy is converted into heat due to the resistance of the wire material. This heat can cause the wire to become hot, especially if a large amount of electricity is flowing through it.
What kind of object will conduct both heat and electricity?
Metals such as copper, silver, gold, and aluminum are good conductors of both heat and electricity due to their free-flowing electrons that allow for the transfer of energy in both forms. These materials are commonly used in various applications where efficient heat and electrical conductivity are required.
Are insulators Gasoline engines and diesel engines?
no, insulators protect the wiring, or contain heat from some source or another, or block electricity from flowing
Does electricity is made by water?
You use flowing water to turn a turbine. Or you heat water and turn it into steam which is used to turn a turbine.You use flowing water to turn a turbine. Or you heat water and turn it into steam which is used to turn a turbine.
What is a substance that blocks the flow of heat or electricity?
An insulator is a substance that blocks the flow of heat or electricity. Insulators have high electrical resistance and low thermal conductivity, making them effective at limiting the transfer of heat or electrical current. Materials like rubber, glass, and wood are common examples of insulators.
