What material is both a conductor and insulator?
wool. are you asking about thermal, electrical, audio. These are different mechanisms.
What is insulating material used for?
insulating materials have low thermal/electrical conductivity values and hence can be used in applications where resistance to heat or resistance to the passage of electrical current is required.
Electrical energy thermal energy?
The electrical energy of thermal energy is called kinetic energy. An example of electrical energy converted to thermal energy is a toaster drawing current from an electrical outlet.
What does thermal and electrical conductivity mean?
Thermal and electrical conductivity are physical properties; they represent the ability of materials to conduct heat or electrical current.
What happens to the thermal energy of a material when radiation is absorbed in a material?
The thermal energy increases.
What is conductivity material?
This a material with a high thermal or electrical conductivity.Examples: silver, copper, gold.
What property of metallic bonds affect the thermal and electrical conductivity of metals?
electron negativity
What is type of material that tries to prevent the flow of thermal energy?
We call material that acts in that way a thermal insulator. Sometimes we shorten it to just insulation, but we need to be clear that we're talking about thermal energy and not, say, electrical energy.

How does lithium conducts energy?
Litium can conduct energy in the following ways Electron movement- electrical conductivity Electron movement- thermal conductivity Lattice vibration (phonons) - sound
What is metal define?
A solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity.
What large materials are good thermal conductors and good electrical conductors?
from wiedemann franz law we know that thermal conductivity/electrical conductivity=constant that is sigma inv. proportional to k thus a material having large electrical conductivity has low thermal conductivity and moreover we know R=pL/A p=RA/L 1/P=L/RA i.e lower area means greater conductivity(electrical) and lower thermal conductivity

What is the process of thermal expansion?
Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.
What does thermal and electrical conductivity mean?
Thermal and electrical conductivity are physical properties; they represent the ability of materials to conduct heat or electrical current.
What happens to the thermal energy of a material when radiation is absorbed in a material?
The thermal energy increases.
