Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
Why is an insulator never a good conductor?
Because insulators are the opposite of conductors and therefore electricity and heat do not pass through good insulators.
Why are metals good insulators?
They generally aren't. In contrast they are generally good conductors, both of heat and electricity.
What are heat conductors and heat insulators?
the substances that allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat conductors. the substances that do not allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat insulators. ruchi
Differences between conductors and insulators?
Conductors let energy (such as electricity and heat) flow through them easily while insulators do not.
Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
Are metals conductors or insulators?
In general, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Are metal gold and copper good heat insulators?
No. Both metals are good conductors of heat.
What isn't a good conductor of heat?
Insulators, such as wood aren't very good conductors of heat.
Why is an insulator never a good conductor?
Because insulators are the opposite of conductors and therefore electricity and heat do not pass through good insulators.
Are keys insulators or conductors?
Keys are usually made from some metal or alloy. If they are, they are good conductors, both of heat and of electricity.
Why are metals good insulators?
They generally aren't. In contrast they are generally good conductors, both of heat and electricity.
What are heat conductors and heat insulators?
the substances that allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat conductors. the substances that do not allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat insulators. ruchi
What are the properties of electricity?
good conductors of heat bad insulators low resistence high conductivity
What are the electrical properties?
good conductors of heat bad insulators low resistence high conductivity
Differences between conductors and insulators?
Conductors let energy (such as electricity and heat) flow through them easily while insulators do not.
A characteristic of most nonmetallic solids is that they are?
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
