The property of a substance called the thermal conductivity indicates how well or how poorly a substance conducts heat. Insulating materials have a thermal conductivity around 0.02 to 0.08 Btu per hr - ft - F degree. A good conductor of heat like steel pipe has a thermal conductivity of about 24 Btu per hr - ft - F degree.

A material that conducts heat poorly is a good?
Insulator
What branch of science conducts tests on how well heat travels in an object?
Thermodynamics is the branch of science that conducts tests on how well heat travels in an object.
What material conducts electric current poorly?
An element that conducts heat and electrcurrent poorly, and can be a solid, liquid, or gas is a(n)nonmetal.
Material that conducts thermal energy well?
All elements will conduct heat to some extent. metals conduct heat and electricity the best; metalliods conduct heat and electricity good too but not as good as metals. nonmetals are poor conductors.
What is a material that conducts thermal energy?
If you want an example: Any metalIf you want an explanation:It is a material that allows heat to pass through it. If you heat up the end of metal rod the other end will become hot shortly afterwards because the metal conducts heat down it.
A material that is conducts heat well is most likely?
Metals conduct heat and electricity well.
What do you call a material that conducts heat well?
A material with a good thermal conductivity or a thermal conductor.
A material that conducts heat poorly is a good?
Insulator
How well does gold conducts heat and electricity?
because gold is a metal it conducts heat and electricity very well
A material that conducts thermal energy poorly?
A material that doesn't conduct heat well is called an insulator.
Why is electricity the best material that conducts heat?
Electricity does not conduct heat. Your question is meaningless.
What material conducts electricity but not heat?
Many materials conduct heat reasonably well, but are fairly good insulators where electricity is concerned. One example would be glass.
What metals conducts heat well?
All.
What branch of science conducts tests on how well heat travels in an object?
Thermodynamics is the branch of science that conducts tests on how well heat travels in an object.
Which material always feels cold?
One that conducts heat away from your fingertips.
What material conducts electric current poorly?
An element that conducts heat and electrcurrent poorly, and can be a solid, liquid, or gas is a(n)nonmetal.
Material that conducts thermal energy well?
All elements will conduct heat to some extent. metals conduct heat and electricity the best; metalliods conduct heat and electricity good too but not as good as metals. nonmetals are poor conductors.
