Some common materials used as insulators for metal wires include rubber, plastic, and ceramics. These materials have high resistivity and can effectively prevent the flow of electric current, thereby insulating the wire and preventing short circuits or electrical hazards. The choice of insulating material depends on factors such as temperature, voltage levels, and environmental conditions.
What else can I help you with?
Is a key a insulator or a conductor?
A metal key would conduct electricity.
Is the best thermal insulator A. Stone Water C. Air Metal?
Air is the best thermal insulator among the options provided. Air has low thermal conductivity, meaning it is effective at trapping heat and preventing its transfer. Stone, water, and metal have higher thermal conductivities compared to air.
Rank the following in order from the best conductor to the best insulator?
Copper - best conductor Glass - moderate insulator Rubber - good insulator
Is a toothpick a conductor or insulator why?
yes a toothpick is a insulator
Which material is the best insulator of heat plastic polyestyrene or metal?
It is difficult to say without knowing which metal (aluminum, gold, iron, lead, etc) but if we were to compare polyesterene and iron, iron conducts heat about 1000 times better than polyestyrene.In general, the plastic would be a better insulator.
Is a silver bracelet a conductor or insulator?
Silver is the best conductor there is, no matter what it is made into.
Which is the best insulator what Na Si or S?
Na is the best insulator among Na, Si, and S. This is because Na is a metal and tends to have very low conductivity compared to Si and S which are semiconductors or nonmetals with higher conductivity.
Why is glass the best insulator for metal wire?
Glass has excellent insulation characteristics
Is copper a best insulator?
No. Copper is a metal and will conduct both heat and electricity very well.
Is a key a insulator or a conductor?
A metal key would conduct electricity.
Is the best thermal insulator A. Stone Water C. Air Metal?
Air is the best thermal insulator among the options provided. Air has low thermal conductivity, meaning it is effective at trapping heat and preventing its transfer. Stone, water, and metal have higher thermal conductivities compared to air.
Which would be the best insulator carbon or silicon or aluminum or oxygen?
Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.
Is aluminium the best insulator?
Aluminum will conduct both electric current and heat, so it would be a bad insulator of either.
Which is the best insulator?
mostly contain of all types of metal examples are coper , silver ,aluminum, and other types. you should not say gold is a good insulator it would be nice to have a gold insulator but you'd have to be very wealthy
What would be the best insulator?
Insulation is keeping the hot material hot and vice versa. There is no one best insulator but many. Blanket is one example of a good insulator that keeps you warm.Metals like sodium (Na) are the best conductors.Silicon (Si) is a semiconductor---somewhere in between a metal and a non-metal.Carbon (C) is a non-metal, and in theory would be considered an insulator as most nonmetals are. However, graphite can conduct electricity and so can carbon nanotubes. These are exceptions to the general rule that nonmetals are insulators because of their special structures.So C should be your answer, but it is an iffy question to begin with. Easier if the non-metal was something like sulfur.this is he correct answerSi.
Rank the following in order from the best conductor to the best insulator?
Copper - best conductor Glass - moderate insulator Rubber - good insulator
Does bakelite is a poorest insulator?
The poorest insulator would be the best conductor, which is one of the noble metals. Bakelite is a fairly good insulator, not too long ago electrical fittings were made from it.
