Yes, increasing the temperature of an insulator is not likely to make it more electrically conductive. Resistance generally increases as temperature increases. Some materials conduct electricity better when they are very cold, however.

Wood conducts heat very poorly - it has a very low conductivity-so would it still have a low conductivity if it was hot?

It really depends on how dense the wood is and how direct the heat is applied to the wood. Wood will coduct some heat even dry but not much. However it will burn... so if you heated the wood to the point of nearly burning with a lot of heat, it would possibly burn your hand. It has to be constant and can happen rarely that's why pan handles are rarely made of wood. If placed in a hot oven for long enough you will get burned just the same but it will take a lot more time Iron conducts heat very well though mostly because it holds heat. This is possible because of a latticelike network of molecules. Metallurgy is fascinating and you should study and read up on it


Why does hot milk boil over when a steel spoon is placed in the cup?

The milk is boiling so it will still be very hot, and will boil over.


Why are saucepans handles usually made from wood or plastic?

Saucepan handles are usually made from wood or plastic because these materials have low thermal conductivity and are less likely to get hot when the pan is placed on high heat. This prevents burns or discomfort while handling the pan. Additionally, wood and plastic handles are easier to grip and more comfortable to hold compared to metal handles.


How hot is a metamorphic rock after it's formed?

it is very very very hot


Can you put hot straighteners on wood?

It is not recommended to place hot straighteners directly on wood surfaces as this can cause damage and potentially lead to fire hazards. It is safer to use a heat-resistant mat or surface to protect the wood from the heat.

Why the wood will hot slowly slowly but the steal are very quickly hot?

because the wood have hool. '


Can you use hot glue to adhere plastic to wood?

Possibly if the wood has a very smooth surface


Why does my laptop gets hot from the bottom when a sleep?

all laptops get hot on the bottom.i cant think any particular reason why it wood do it exsesivly when asllep, but while in on mode then it wood still be hot


Why does a wooden spoon not get hot if you put it in hot soup?

Wood is a poor conductor of heat, so it does not transfer heat easily. This means that the wooden spoon will not absorb as much heat from the soup compared to a metal spoon, which has higher thermal conductivity.


What are examples of conductivity?

When you hand touches the hot handle of a pot. When you touch an ice cube and it melts in your hand. When the spoon touches hot water and the spoon gets hot. When the spoon touches cold ice cream and the ice cream melts.


Why do some materials get hot more quickly than others?

Materials get hot more quickly than others because of differences in their thermal conductivity. Materials with high thermal conductivity, such as metals, can quickly and efficiently transfer heat, leading to faster heating. On the other hand, materials with low thermal conductivity, like wood or plastic, heat up more slowly because they are not as efficient at transferring heat.


If a pot is hot and the handle is cold what material was the handle made of?

The handle was likely made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as wood or plastic, which does not retain heat well. This would explain why it feels cold even when the pot is hot.


What property of metals led to the use of plastic or wood handles on many metal cooking?

Conduction. Metals are very good conductors of heat/electricity. Wood and plastics are not.Because plastic and wood has no conductivity so the heat wont pass through it and wont burn the hand of a persons.Cooking utensils have wood or plastic handles primarily to prevent the cook from burning his/her hands. Wood and plastic conduct heat much less than metal.Metals are good conductors of heat. To stop burning your hand, plastic or wooden handles are used, which are not such good conductors of heat.Good thermal conductivity of metals means that metal handles get hot- plasic and wood arepoorer conductors of heat so are cooler.


What type of wood are hot tubs made of?

Cedar wood is most often used in hot tub construction. A few reasons are: it is a very sturdy wood; it contains various natural oils, which act as a barrier against wood rot and decay; also, the scent of cedar is very pleasing, but a little known fact is that the scent is actually a natural insect repellant! Nobody wants dead bugs in their hot tub!


What material has a poor energy conductor?

Wood is a material that has poor energy conductivity, making it a good insulator. This is why wooden utensils are commonly used in cooking to prevent burns from hot surfaces.


What is the difference between a wood stove and a pellet stove?

Wood stove when used gets hot and stays hot for a very long time, making it dangerous to have around children, whereas a pellet stove don't get too hot to touch.
