Metal plastic glass or ceramic What is the best insulator?
The best insulator in descending order is, glass, plastic and then wood.
Is styrofoam a better insulator of heat than plastic?
Styrofoam is a better insulator of heat than plastic. The plastic allows the heat in and out and the cold in and out. The Styrofoam helps keep the heat in.
Is a plastic cup a better insulator than a paper cup?
Plastic is an insulator. but most of the paper is not insulated, because the paper in general contains water, although the content is very low, but enough to pass current, but there also is a special insulation paper, that is on the special purpose. so in dry conditions, and the cup has no water, a plastic cup is a better insulator than a paper cup.
Can plastic cup be replaced by glass beaker in determination of heat of solution?
yes.but plastic cup is a better good insulator than glass beaker.
Is a metal cup a better insulator or a plastic cup a better insulator?
Putting the cup in the freezer keeps ice from melting. Those cups will slow down the melting rate, but if you've got ice at room temperature it's gonna melt eventually. Having said that, ice will melt slowest in a styrofoam cup.
Is wood and plastic an thermal insulator?
No. Wood and plastic are two materials, not one.They can be insulators, or a composite made from wood and plastic could be an insulator but THEY cannot be ANinsulator.
Is a toothpick a conductor or a insulator?
If the toothpick is made of wood or plastic, it would act as an insulator.
Metal plastic glass or ceramic What is the best insulator?
The best insulator in descending order is, glass, plastic and then wood.
What is a material that does not conduct heat or electricity well?
An insulator.
What is a better insulator plastic or aluminum?
plastic
What is a better insulator for magnets paper or plastic?
plastic
Is bubble wrap or plastic wrap a better insulator?
It is an insulator. It would take many wraps to make it become a good insulator. There are much better products in the market place to use for insulation purposes which are much safer.
Which does ice melt slower plastic or wood?
Two identical pieces of ice, each placed on identically sized and shaped blocks of plastic and wood at the same temperature, will melt at a rate proportional to the thermal conductivity and the thermal mass of the object they are on. Generally, wood is a better thermal insulator than plastic. Short answer: wood.
Is styrofoam a better insulator of heat than plastic?
Styrofoam is a better insulator of heat than plastic. The plastic allows the heat in and out and the cold in and out. The Styrofoam helps keep the heat in.
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
Which of these materials would not be a good insulator of electricity?
An example of a good insulator of electricity would be rubber. An insulator is anything that does not conduct electricity and as such offers protection from direct electric current.
What are the six kinds of insulator?
Rubber, glass, wood, plastic, medal, carpet
