What is the material between two charged bodies that prevents the discharge of electricity from one body to the other?
An insulator
Why aluminium hangers doesn't conduct electricity?
Aluminium hangers do conduct electricity, as aluminium is a good conductor of electricity. The reason you may not experience an electric shock when touching an aluminium hanger is because it is often coated with a non-conductive material, such as paint or plastic, which prevents direct contact with the aluminium.
Which material is malleable and conducts electricity wood ice metal or oil?
Metal is the material that is malleable and conducts electricity.
Is conduction a physical or chemical?
Chemical property.
Can you explain the transfer of heat within a material?
The transfer of heat within a material, I don't know about. But I can help you with the transfer of heat from one material to another. Heat always moves from the warmer material to the colder one. It does this until it reaches equilibrium. this means when both objects have the same amount of heat energy.
What is a material that reduces or prevents the transfer of energy?
"insulator"
What is a material's ability to conduct electricity?
Electrical Conductivity. If a material is able to conduct, or transfer electricity, it is considered electrically conductive.
What is aconduction?
Any material that allows heat or electricity to transfer easily.
What is the material between two charged bodies that prevents the discharge of electricity from one body to the other?
An insulator
WHAT DOES A CONDUCTOR AND A INSULATOR MEAN?
An insulator is a material that prevents the passage of electricity. An example is the plastic insulating cover on electrical wires, A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow. An example is the copper wire used inside electrical cables.
What is the definitions of insulator?
The act of insulating, or the state of being insulated; detachment from other objects; isolation. 2. (Elec. & Thermotics) The act of separating a body from others by nonconductors, so as to prevent the transfer of electricity or of heat; also, the state of a body so separated.
What does An insulator?
an insulator- to prevent or reduce the transfer of electricity,heat,or sound by surrounding or lining with a non-conducting material.
The ability of a material to transfer heat is?
Heat Conductivity.The word conductivity may also be used to refer to electrical conductivity, the ability to conduct/transfer electricity. Metals are good at both.
How does a tight fitting plastic stopper on a flask minimise heat transfer?
It prevents heat transfer by convection as it prevents contact between the surrounding air and air inside the flask. It prevents heat transfer by conduction as it is a poor conductor of heat.
A material is ductile if it?
can be pulled out or drawn can be hammered or rolled into flat sheets and other shapes can transfer heat or electricity to another material and is a mixture of a metal with at least one other element
Do you need an insulator to keep electricity flowing?
An insulator prevents electricity from flowing.
What do you call a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily?
A material that electricity can conduct electricity.
