What are materials that are poor conductors of electricity called?
They are insulators.
What group of elements are poor conductors of heat and electricity?
most non ferrous materials are poor conductors with exceptions
What does an electrical insulator have?
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
What type of elements would not be a good choice for use in electrical wiring?
Nonmetals would not work because they are poor conductors of electricity
Materials that are poor conductors of heat?
Materials that are poor conductors of heat are Plastic and Wood "example."
Name two other materials that are poor conductors of electricity and might make good insulators?
plastic, glass and rubber
What are some poor conductors of heat?
Poor conductors of heat are generally also poor conductors of electricity. These would include most gases, ceramics and man-made plastics. A vacuum will not conduct heat either.
Are coins good or poor conductors of electricity?
Coins are made of metal and metals are good conductors of electricity.
Is a poor conductors of electricity and heat?
yes
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Some nonmetallic materials are good conductors, graphite being an example. In this form, it is considered a semi-metal for that reason. Normally, however, nonmetals are not good electrical conductors.
What are insulators such as wood and air poor conductors of?
Electricity
