Are diapers good insulators?
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
Are towels good insulators?
Yes they are.
Are train tracks conductors or insulators?
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
Are materials containing air usually good insulators?
jj
What is in an example of a good insulator?
A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators; feathers and wool make good thermal insulators.
Are liquids and gases good insulators?
Gases are good insulators because most insulating materials which have gas filled pockets which means gases are good insulaters. Hope this helps :)
Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.
Is gas a good conductor of electricity?
Air and other gases are usually good insulators but sometimes they can be good conductors
Why are plastic good electricity insulators?
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
What makes a material a good insulators of heat?
Hot molecules moving makes a good heat insulator
Are diapers good insulators?
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
Why are feathers good insulators?
Feathers are good insulators because they trap air. Motionless air is a very good insulator.
Why is an insulator never a good conductor?
Because insulators are the opposite of conductors and therefore electricity and heat do not pass through good insulators.
If air is a bad conducter of heat then why do global warming occurs?
because water vapor, carbon dioxide, & other greenhouse gases are good insulators of heat that radiates off the earth.
Why are gases good insulators?
Gas particles are very far apart. So heat can't be passes, the heat escapes
Are gases good heat insulators?
Gas particles are very far apart. So heat can't be passes, the heat escapes
Why aren't insulators good conductors of electricity?
because insulators don't conduct any electricity but conductors do conduct electricity
