Is plastic a better insulator than metal?
No, it is not. Metals conduct heat much better than most plastics. However, if the metal is used as a reflector of radiated heat, it will insulate better than plastic would.
Is sponge a good heat insulator?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
Is gas or a vacuum a better insulator?
Vacuums make better insulators as convection currents can not form to transport heat energy.
Is graphite a heat conductor or insulator?
insulator
Does a thermal insulator keep heat in or out or both?
an ideal thermal insulator does not conduct heat at all,so it keeps heat out!
Is wallpaper a better insulator of heat or is tin foil better?
Any metal is a terrible insulator of heat. Wallpaper would be much better.
Is styrofoam a better insulator of heat than plastic?
Styrofoam is a better insulator of heat than plastic. The plastic allows the heat in and out and the cold in and out. The Styrofoam helps keep the heat in.
Do you say insulator of heat or bad conductor of heat Which is correct Or both are correct?
well, i think both would be correct, though a "bad conductor of heat" would be better. Or you could say "insulator for heat" or simply insulator....
Which is better a insulator or conductor to transfer heat?
By definition, a conductor.
Is plastic a better insulator than metal?
No, it is not. Metals conduct heat much better than most plastics. However, if the metal is used as a reflector of radiated heat, it will insulate better than plastic would.
Which conducts heat better diamond or copper?
Copper is a conductor. Diamond is an insulator.
Is potato an insulator of heat?
a potato is not an heat insulator because it's skin,but if you take the skin off it will be a heat insulator
Is sponge a good heat insulator?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
Is gas or a vacuum a better insulator?
Vacuums make better insulators as convection currents can not form to transport heat energy.
Is graphite a heat conductor or insulator?
insulator
An object that can transfer heat easily is an?
An insulator. More specifically, a thermal (heat) insulator, as opposed to an electrical insulator, which suppresses the flow of electricity.
What is a good insulator and why?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
