What is a good conductor of energy?
Silver is most conducting element,but copper is better.
Is wood plastic glass insulator?
Yes. Wood, plastic, and glass are all indeed an insulator. The reason being is that neither of those conduct energy well. But a few materials that would be very good CONDUCTORS would be copper, tin, or aluminum. Hope that helped ;)
Are non-metals or metals better conductors of electricity which one is most conductive?
Energy is transfered by molecules colliding with each other. The closer the molecules are, the better they conduct energy. That is why air is a bad conductor and copper is. The molecules in copper are much closer than air molecules. Aluminum is also a bad conductor, because it is not very dense.
What does insulates?
An insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity. More specifically, it is a material that is chosen to prevent electricity passing from one point to another. Typical examples are the plastic covering on cables, plastic cases around electronic circuits and the body of circuit boards which support copper tracks but keep them isolated from each other.
If you rub a copper rod rather than a polythene rod the copper rod will not stay charged why not?
because copper cannot conduct static energy but polythene can.
Would a regular tooth brush cause electrostatic energy when rubbed against a plastic surface?
Probably not, something like wool or cotton will have a much better effect. But you can always try it...
Does a conductor transfer energy easily?
Yes, conductors (copper, carbon...) transfer energy quite well, and insulators (plastic, rubber...) do not.
What is a good conductor of energy?
Silver is most conducting element,but copper is better.
What is a better insulated container steel or plastic or ceramic?
Plastic melts. Metals conduct heat energy just as well as the do electrical energy. That leaves Ceramic.
Does ice melt faster on metal or plastic?
assuming the same temperature metal is better at distributing energy so metal.
Why do metal things feel colder than a bottle?
Because metal is a better conduct of thermal energy than plastic 😃
What makes metals hot?
metals are good conductors this means that energy can move throgh them better than say plastic or insulation
Is plastic better than wood?
Yes cause it's not killing a tree just for it's wood and contributing and producing global warming. Try to re-use plastic to conserve energy.
Is cotton a fossil fuel?
No, cotton is a plant. If it is burnt as biofuel it is a form of renewable energy.
What are the benefits of purchasing cotton or organic blankets over synthetic blend blankets?
They are better for the enviornment as they do not need oil to make and require less energy too.
Is wood plastic glass insulator?
Yes. Wood, plastic, and glass are all indeed an insulator. The reason being is that neither of those conduct energy well. But a few materials that would be very good CONDUCTORS would be copper, tin, or aluminum. Hope that helped ;)
Is copper a poor conductor of energy?
No. Copper is a good conductor of both electricity and heat.
