What is a bad conductor of electricity?
There are many. One example is plastic. to expand first are the ceramics, then glasses, finally plastics.
Why isn't a good heat conductor is not used for cooking utensils?
It is not good for cooking because the conductor traps the heat so it stays hot
What are the examples of insulator and conductor?
The difference between a conductor and an insulator is that a conductor allows electrons to travel. This is because the "outer electrons" of a conductor are not anchored like those of an insulator. Conductors tend to be metals. Some examples of insulators are plastic, glass, rubber and wood.
What is the difference in construction between power diode and simple diode?
Basically the semi-conductor junctions are a larger surface area and heat sinks are part of the design to dissipate heat.
Metal is a good conductor?
Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. However the degree of conductivity varies with each type of metal.
Is plastic a bad conductor of heat?
plastic is a bad conductor of heat because it is made up of different man made material's.
Is a plastic bag a conductor?
No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.
Is a plastic bag a good conductor?
No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.
Are plastic freezer drawers better than metal?
No. Plastic is a bad conductor of heat as it does not have free electrons and metal are good conductor of heat as they have one or two free electrons in outer orbit.
What is a better heat conductor paper or plastic?
Plastic?
What the uses of good and bad conductors of heat with an example of each?
A good conductor of heat is metal as it has free electrons that can also carry Energy aswell as the partials themselves. This can be used for a radiator so the room can be heated. A bad conductor of heat is polystyrene. This can be used for plastic cups so the drink stay hot longer.
Is a styrofoam a good conducter of heat or a bad conductor of heat?
It is a bad conductor of heat, that is why it is used as an insulating material.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Do not conduct heat easily?
Wood is not a conductor of heat and so is plastic whereas metal is the perfect conductor for heat
Is copper a bad heat conductor?
No. Copper is a good conductor of heat.
Is wool conductor of heat?
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
