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.
What is the difference between thermal conductors and thermal insulators?
Conductors carry thermal energy through, but insulators prevent the movement of heat energy. The usual reason is the way the electrons in these elements and compounds are organized, because electrons are the energy carrier, either for heat or electricity.
What is the part of speech for insulators?
Insulators is a plural noun.
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
What is the definition insulators?
Insulators are materials that prevent electrical flow.
What type of cups are better insulators?
styrofoam cups are great insulators.
Where do elements that are good insulators appear on the periodic table?
Generally elements with modest electrical conductivity are at the right of the Periodic Table of Mendeleev: groups 14-18. But they cannot be considered as insulators.
What type of substance are hear insulators?
Heat insulators are typically made from made from porcelain rich in alumina or fiberglass.
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.
What are three natural occurring elements that are considered to be good insulators?
-- silicon -- germanium -- nitrogen -- oxygen
On which side does the isulators found in periodic table?
Elements that are insulators are on the right side of the periodic table.
How many type of conducters?
Can you reword the question? Do you mean insulators, instead of conductors?
What do you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
Why suspension insulators preferred for high voltage power transmission?
'Suspension' type insulators are less expensive to manufacture than 'pin' type insulators for voltages in excess of around 33 kV. Each 'dish' is designed for specific voltage (e.g. in the UK, typically 11 kV), and several can be added to form a 'string' to match any desired voltage level. This inceases their versatility. Suspension insulators also allow for greater lateral movement of the conductors.
Are Crayons insulators or conductors?
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.
Which type of container keeps liquid hotter for more time?
the answer is a Thermos because it is made with insulators.
