What else can I help you with?
Why would it be better to use a plastic spoon instead of a metal spoon to eat on a hot day?
Metal is a good conductor of heat. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat. On a hot day the plastic spoon may stop you scalding your mouth if it is left out in the sun.
Whats a good conductor of heat?
Copper and aluminum. Most heat sinks are made of Aluminum (cheap and a good conductor of heat).
Is a fork a conductir or insulator?
If it is made of metal, it is a conductor. If it is wooden, it is an insulator.
Is a good heat conductor a metal or nonmetal?
Metal
What are some examples of good conductors that are not made of metal?
Very pure distilled water is a good conductor of heat but is not so good for electricity and it is not a metal. Oil is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity and it is not a metal. Teflon (a non-stick coating used on cooking pans) is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity and it is not a metal.
Why plastic is not a good conductor?
Because electricity can only travel through metal.
Is a metal paper clip a conductor or insulator?
If it is made of metal, it is a conductor.
Why doesn't a plastic spoon in your hot chocolate feel hot to your hand?
Because plastic isn't as good a conductor of heat as metal.
Is a plastic cup a good insulator or conductor?
Plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so a plastic cup can be considered a good insulator. It will help to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for longer periods of time compared to a material that is a good conductor like metal.
What apparatus would you use to show that a metal was a good conductor of electricity?
plastic, steel, zinc, and carbon
What are some examples of insulators of electricity?
Wood, plastic, glass, --> holds electrons tightly. opposite of conductors.
Is a plastic bag a good conductor?
No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.
Why would it be better to use a plastic spoon instead of a metal spoon to eat on a hot day?
Metal is a good conductor of heat. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat. On a hot day the plastic spoon may stop you scalding your mouth if it is left out in the sun.
What are poor conductor of electerly?
plastic and wood mainly, however metal are good conductors so anything but that mostly....
Is steel an electrical conductor?
yes,steel is a metal and all metals are good conductors of electricity no you are wrong their not every metal is a good conductor yes every metal is a conductor but not all are good conductor.
Why plastic is bad and matel is good conductor of electricity?
Metal contains a sea of mobile electrons around its atoms that can conduct electricity while plastic doesn't.
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
