What is R factor in heat insulation?
An R-value is a unit of thermal resistance for a particular material or assembly of materials (such as an insulation panel). The R-value depends on a solid material's resistance to conductive heat transfer.
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.
Which type of heat transfer occurs across a temperature gradient within a solid?
what material has the highest thermal conductivity
What happens to the thermal energy of a material when radiation is absorbed in a material?
The thermal energy increases.
Is newspaper a thermal conductor?
Yes, it is a material with a high thermal conductivity.
What is thermal risistance?
Thermal resistance is a measure of a material's ability to resist the flow of heat through it. It is used to quantify how well a material can insulate against heat transfer. A lower thermal resistance value indicates better thermal insulation properties.
What increases the?
The thermal vibration of the atoms in the material increases the resistance of that substance. The resistance is greatly depends on temperature.
What material has the highest coefficient of linear thermal expansion?
nickel
What does a heat proof mat look like?
It is a layer of material with high thermal resistance.

what material has the highest thermal conductivity
Of these 4 copper wood silicon aluminum which material would have the highest resistance to the flow of electric current?
silicon
What is the Dimensional formula of thermal resistance?
no
What happens to the thermal energy of a material when radiation is absorbed in a material?
The thermal energy increases.
Which has the greater resistance thick wire or a thin of the same length?
The thermal resistance of a wire is proportional to ln(r2/r1), meaning that a thicker wire has a greater thermal resistance.
What are materials that conduct heat slowly called?
They are called thermal insulators or materials with high thermal resistance.
