Is wool as good a insulator when wet?

No because water is a good conductor of heat in comparison to wool.


Is steel wool a good conductor of heat?

Yes, steel wool is a good conductor of heat due to its dense structure and metallic composition. When heat is applied to steel wool, it quickly conducts the heat throughout its structure, making it useful for applications like scrubbing surfaces or starting fires.

An insulator.


How does the wool on a sheep's back keep them warm?

Wool is an okay insulator, but the lanolin in the wool is the stuff that really keeps the sheep warm. It wicks away melted snow and is a better heat conductor, so it warms up the fleece using body heat.


Is cotton wool a good conductor of heat?

its a good insulator, meaning that yes, it is a good non-conductor. Materials that insulate heat, eg wool, cotton etc, are also by definition good electrical insulators. Good conductors would include most metals, which you may have noticed are bad insulators. you wouldn't wear metal underwear anyway!


Is steel wool a good heat insulator?

Steel wool is not a good heat insulator because it is a good conductor of heat, meaning it allows heat to pass through it easily. As a result, it would not provide effective insulation against heat. It is more commonly used for cleaning and scrubbing due to its abrasive properties.


Is cork an conductor or an insulator?

Cork is an insulator. It has low thermal and electrical conductivity due to its cellular structure which traps air and reduces the transfer of heat or electricity.


Is cotton wool a conductor of electricity or an insulator?

Cotton wool is not a conductor or an insulator it is a semi conductor. It is sort of in the middle, electrons can travel through cotton wool but not as good as silver, bronze, metal and so on.
