What else can I help you with?
Is a microwave a conductor?
I'll assume that you're talking about the kitchen appliance that cooks with microwave radiation, called a "microwave oven" Many parts of the appliance are made with plastic, glass, and rubber. Some of those parts conduct heat, and others don't. None of them conduct electricity. Other parts are made with metals. Those parts do conduct heat and electricity. No, a microwave is not a conductor producing heat, its actually a glass tube, that transfers electric energy into an electromagnetic wave, which happens to excite water molecules.
Explain how air can become a good conductor and what happens when this occurs?
Air can become a good conductor when it is ionized, meaning its atoms and molecules become charged. This can happen due to high temperatures, exposure to radiation, or electrical discharges like lightning. When air becomes a good conductor, it allows electricity to flow easily through it, leading to phenomena like lightning strikes and electrical arcs.
Is it poor conductor or a good conductor?
It is a poor conductor.
How does foam wrap reduce radiation and conduction?
Foam wrap reduces radiation by reflecting heat away from the object and by providing an insulating layer that traps heat. It reduces conduction by creating a barrier between the object and whatever it is in contact with, slowing down the transfer of heat through direct contact.
How can the current in a conductor be increased?
The current in a conductor can be increased by either increasing the voltage applied across the conductor or decreasing the resistance of the conductor.
How radiation different radiation from convection and conduction?
think of an oven radiation is heating and conduction is a heting conductor. i am muntaha from miss larew?? hi muntahaha
What are the materials used for absorbing solar energy?
Any good absorber or conductor of short wave radiation like air, black substances etc. absorbs solar radiation finely as the sun emits short waves in the form of solar radiation.
Is aluminum foil a conductor or insulator?
Insulator or conductor depending on the circumstances. Aluminum foil conducts heat, but it cuts off air flow and reduces evaporation of fluids. Aluminum foil reflects and thus minimizes radiation transmission. With foods it is more useful as an insulator. It also acts as an insulator on windows. But, aluminum is definitely a good heat conductor.
How does Heat transfer takes place in oven under vacuum?
Only by radiation, if not screened and by conduction, if mounted on a thermal conductor (heat sink)
Why is foil a good insulator?
Foil is considered to be a good insulator since it has the ability to reflect radiation. However, aluminium foil is commonly used as a conductor and not an insulator.

Is outer space a conductor of heat?
Outer space is mostly a vacuum and does not conduct heat well because it lacks a medium for heat transfer to occur. In the absence of matter to carry thermal energy, heat transfer in space primarily occurs through radiation.
Does light conduct electricity?
No, light does not conduct electricity because it is a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not consist of charged particles like electrons. Electrical conduction requires the movement of charged particles such as electrons through a conductor.
Is a pan a insulator or conductor?
An aluminum pan is a conductor, which makes it useful for cooking, since it heats up when placed on a burner or over a flame.

What is the name given to a person who conducts an orchestra?
A conductor Conductor The conductor is also known as "Maestro".
Is a copper conductor or a insulators?
Copper is a conductor of electricity.
