Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.
Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
What materials do not transfer heat easily?
An insulator is a material that does not allow a transfer of electricity or heat energy. Materials that are poor thermal conductors can also be described as being good thermal insulators. Feather, fur, and natural fibers are all examples of natural insulators
Materials that are not good conductors or and not good insulators are called?
Semiconductor
What are good conductors called?
They're called conductors. As opposed to insulators, which don't conduct. Metals are typically pretty good conductors.
Should the ceramic tiles on a shuttle be good thermal conductors?
No. They should be good thermal insulators.
Which is not a good conductor of heat?
elements with low thermal conductivity are called insulators. they cannot transfer heat in an efficient way. they are not good conductors.
Are train tracks conductors or insulators?
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.
Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
Why aren't insulators good conductors of electricity?
because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
Are metals thermal insulators?
omdat je nou eenmaal moet poepen!!
Are metals conductors or insulators?
In general, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Materials that are not good conductors or and not good insulators are called?
Semiconductor
What materials do not transfer heat easily?
An insulator is a material that does not allow a transfer of electricity or heat energy. Materials that are poor thermal conductors can also be described as being good thermal insulators. Feather, fur, and natural fibers are all examples of natural insulators
What substances are the best insulators?
Usually nonmetals. Rubber, plastic, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam, tinfoil (to reflect the heat.)The most common insulator for electricity is plastic.
