How good and bad conductors of heat are useful to us?

Answer 1

Substances that don't have the capacity to carry heat are called bad conductors of heat (or insulators ). Substances that have the capacity to carry heat are called good conductors of heat. As for electricity, it is very, much the same.

Answer 2

Bad conductors of heat are used in insulation such as the material between your walls keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Good conductors of heat are used in cooking for example where the transfer of temperature is desired.

Simply think of what is required, what is used and why it makes sense.

Answer 3

Well, Nature has Insulators and Conductors for the use of Different Purposes. The main reason is to make us safe, do work fast, etc. Conductors of heat like copper, Iron, etc is used to cook food fast, and other such purposes. Conductors of electricity helps in conduction of it for the use of electrical appliances, etc. Insulators of heat as Baketite or Plastic are used to protect oneself from being burnt when touched by the cooker and that of electricity are used to Protect u from terrible Shocks! So are these and many such uses of Conductors and Insulators in our everyday life.

Answer 4

Good conductors of heat are useful for transferring heat efficiently, such as in cooking utensils or electronic devices. Bad conductors of heat, also known as insulators, are useful for conserving heat, like in a thermos or winter clothing to keep warmth in and cold out. Both types of materials have important roles in various applications to regulate temperature effectively.

Answer 5

Good conductors: Gold, copper, aluminum steel and others. Bad conductors: rubber, plastic, wood, and others.

Answer 6

metal=good

plastic=bad
