Is a cloth a conductor or a insulator?
its an insulator
Is cloth a good insulator to keep cold things cold?
Yes.
Why cloth is a good insulator for sound?
Cloth would act as a shock absorber and so it vibrates swallowing the sound energy and so energy cannot be passed through. Hence considered as a good insulator
Is cloth an insulator or conductor of elecricity?
Normal cloth made of typical natural fibers are good insulators. In fact, cloth was widely used to insulate electric wires for a while.
Why is cloth a good insulator of heat?
cloth is made up of threads wound together in very tight fashion. In between the two threads there are gaps in which air is filled. It is known that air is bad conductor of heat. So due to this air present, the cloth acts as a good insulator of heat.......
