What else can I help you with?
Does satin conduct electricity?
Satin itself is not a conductor of electricity. However, if satin comes into contact with a conductive material or if it is used in an environment with static electricity, it may carry an electric charge.
What are the sources of silk?
Silk is produced by silkworms, which are the larvae of silk moths. The silkworms create silk fibers by secreting a protein called fibroin through their salivary glands, which solidifies when it comes into contact with air. The fibers are then collected and spun into silk threads.
A rainfall after usually it is visible?
Rainfall can make it easier to see spider webs, as the raindrops collect on the silk threads, making them more visible.
Why it is necessary to kill silkmoth pupae by boiling cocoons in water?
Silkmoth pupae are typically killed by boiling cocoons to prevent them from emerging as moths and breaking the silk fibers. This process helps to maintain the quality, length, and strength of the silk threads for textile production. Additionally, it simplifies the extraction of silk fibers from the cocoon.
What is the plucking process?
The plucking process refers to the method of harvesting silk from silkworm cocoons, primarily the cocoons of the Bombyx mori moth. Once the cocoons are formed, they are boiled or steamed to kill the pupae and soften the silk fibers. Artisans then carefully unwind the long silk threads, which can measure up to several kilometers in length. This delicate process is crucial in producing high-quality silk used in textiles and garments.
Is a SILK a good conductors?
No, (wikipedia)and Benjamin Franklin actually hold a piece of silk in hand in the famous experiment of lightning
How is silk an insulator?
well when you talk about silk then it cannot conduct electricity yes when you rub it you can see a little light but that does not mean that it can conduct electricity.
What is the silk worm a producer?
they produce silk threads (what is the question?)
If rubber is a good insulator why do balloons attract static electricity?
Insulators can easily have static electricity. In case of conductors we have to follow some delicate procedure to store charges on it. Usually that is known to be electrostatic induction. But in case of insulators just rubbing would do to produce static electricity. Example: when a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, then glass lose electrons to the silk and so glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. So balloons being a bad conductor is good example to have static electricity. If it is good conductor then charges would flow through them easily and so not possible to produce static electricity just by rubbing.
What is reeling the silk?
The process of taking out threads from the cocoon for use as silk is called reeling the silk.
Does satin conduct electricity?
Satin itself is not a conductor of electricity. However, if satin comes into contact with a conductive material or if it is used in an environment with static electricity, it may carry an electric charge.
Is linen a good conductor of electricity?
Linen fibers are quite good conductors of heat, but when they are spun into threads and woven into fabric, they effective thermal conductivity is considerably decreased due to the added air space between the threads. Even under these conditions it has better thermal conductivity than some other clothing materials such as wool and silk. The tightness of the weave is a big factor in how well it conducts heat - the tighter the weave, the better the conductivity. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that linen is popular for clothing in very hot environments.
What is unwinding of silk threads from cocoon called?
reeling
Can silk conduct electricity?
No silk cannot conduct electricity and Benjamin franklin figured that out.
Does silk kill the worm during the process of silk production?
No, silk production involves carefully unraveling the silk threads from the cocoons of silkworms without harming the worms.
How much does 5000 threads of silk weigh?
approximately 12.32 pounds
What is the source of silk threads?
Silkworms, a type of caterpillar, are the source of silk threads. Silkworms make a cocoon about an inch long in an oval shape. Silkworms only eat the leaves of white mulberry trees.
