Can rubber stand the cold?
If you drop a piece of rubber in liquid nitrogen, (in a dewar, where the liquid nitrogen does not boil that fast), then the rubber will be frozen. In that sense, the rubber will get hard and brittle. If by 'freeze' you mean the formal definition, which is to form actual crystals, as water does when it freezes, then the rubber won't freeze. You should know that when you drop the rubber into the liquid, the liquid will boil off very quickly for a while even though it's in a dewar. That's because heat will flow straight from the rubber into the liquid.
Is rubber an insulator of electricity?
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
Is a good insulater a good conductor?
No; an insulator by definition does not conduct electricity. We use these to protect ourselves from electricity, like the rubber in rubber gloves. Conductors, in contrast, are good...uh, conductors of electricity.
Can lightning burn rubber?
I believe you mean "Why doesn't rubber conduct electricity" Conductors share a property in that they have "loose" electrons where the electrons can move from one atom to the next. That's what electrical current is, the movement of electrons in a conductor. Rubber doesn't have these "loose" electrons and therefore will not conduct electricity. These materials are called insulators.
Which of these materials would not be a good insulator of electricity?
An example of a good insulator of electricity would be rubber. An insulator is anything that does not conduct electricity and as such offers protection from direct electric current.
Why use rubber to cover electric wire?
Because rubber does not conduct electricity
Does rubber conduct electricity at very high frequencies?
Rubber doesn't conduct electricity well at any frequency. But to the extent that it does conduct, it's better at low frequencies than high, because of the skin effect.
What is an example of a substance that does not conduct electricity?
Rubber
Is rubber insulator or a conductor?
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
Are glass and rubber conductors?
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
What material doesn't conduct an electrical charge?
Rubber
Is Rubber insulator or conductor?
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
What does not conduct electric current?
rubber, wood. etc, insulators
What is a material that does not conduct electrical charge?
Rubber is one. :)
Is rubber a conductor or an insulator of electric?
rubber doesn't conduct electricity,it is an insulator because it doesn't have free electrons to conduct electricity.
Do rubbers conduct electricity?
Rubber objects do not conduct electricity, neither do they let electricity travel through them.
What are three things that do not conduct heat?
Nothing does not conduct heat. If you are asking for three insulators: a coat, rubber, and plastic.
