Condution of heat is due to transfer of heat energy in the form of vibrational energy getting passed through. But in air atoms or molecues are not rigid and they move at random. So conduction is not possible but air is good convector. Same way water too is a bad coductor but a good convector of heat.
What else can I help you with?
How is plastic foam is a poor conductor of thermal energy?
they have a very large amount of air present in them, plastic is a bad conductor
Is wool conductor of heat?
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
Why is a sponge a bad conductor off heat?
A sponge is a bad conductor of heat because it is made up of mostly air pockets trapped in its porous structure. Air is a poor conductor of heat compared to solid materials, which prevents heat from transferring efficiently through the sponge.
Why air is considered as a bad conductor?
Air is quite a reasonable conductor of sound, of radio waves, and of radiant heat. It is not a good conductor of say, electricity, because of the lack of free electrons, which are needed for electrical conduction.
Is air a good conductor or bad conductor and why?
Air is not a conductor of electricity if it conducts electricity we cannot live. And if there is any ions present then only that can conducts electricity but air is a mixture of gases. So it is not a conductor. Lightning is proof that air is a conductor, however it is not a 'good' conductor it is about average. Air conductivity changes with moisture (humidity)and temperature level. The higher the moisture in the air, the higher its conductivity. Yes it is the water in the air that conducts generally, but the question was not "is oxygen / nitrogen / methane / etc" a good conductor. Our "Air" or "Atmosphere" is made up of a great number of components. "Paschen's Law" is what covers this question, and is pretty complex being "V=(a(pd))/(ln(pc)+b) - see link below).
Is air a good conductor of electric charge?
No, air is a poor conductor of electric charge. It is considered an insulator because it typically does not allow the flow of electric current easily. Lightning strikes occur when air breaks down and becomes a conductor in the form of a plasma.
How do you test that air is a bad conductor of electricity?
To test that air is a bad conductor of electricity, you can set up a simple experiment by connecting a circuit with a battery, a light bulb, and two metal plates with a gap between them. When the gap is filled with air, the light bulb should not light up, showing that air does not conduct electricity well.
Is air a conductor or?
Conductor
