Is a newspaper a good conductor or insulator?

Answer 1

Just like any other type of insulation. The point with news paper insulation is to keep a layer of air between the cold and whatever you're trying to keep warm. It's like a sweater. The idea is that your body heats the cold air in the sweater and when it's warm it acts as a buffer between you and the cold air outside the sweater. A wet suit is the same thing except you heat the water around you.

Answer 2

A newspaper is a poor conductor of electricity due to its high resistance to electric current flow. However, it is also not a good insulator as it can conduct heat and allow it to pass through easily.

Answer 3

YES!... newspaper is a good insulator... Try wrapping newspapers around ice cream boxes... there is a big possibility that it'll stay cold.

Answer 4

We used newspaper because it's a good insulator. Insulators minimize the transfer of heat. It helps minimize any loss of thermal energy
