What is a material that conducts electricity poorly?

One example of a material that conducts electricity poorly is rubber. Rubber is an insulator and does not allow the flow of electric current easily due to its high resistance.


What material conducts thermal energy poorly is a?

thermal insulator


Material that condscts thermal energy well?

a conductor does, while an insulator poorly conducts thermal energy!


A material that conducts thermal energy poorly?

One material that conducts thermal energy poorly is Styrofoam. This material has a low thermal conductivity due to its high concentration of trapped air pockets, which hinders the transfer of heat. This property makes Styrofoam a good insulator for keeping things cool or warm.


What is the name of an element that conducts heat and electricity poorly?

an insulator


How does electrolyzers use electrolytes to make water into gas?

Water is split into hydrogen and oxygen gas in a process called electrolysis in which an electric current is passed through water. Pure water conducts electricity very poorly, so adding electrolytes allows a small current to flow through the water easily. Hydrogen and oxygen gas then bubble up from the electrodes in the water.


What are three kinds of matter that conducts heat poorly?

Things that are nonmetal conduct heat poorly. These insulators would include plastic, rubber, Styrofoam and wood. This is due to the characteristics of the materials.


What pot would be hotter A pot with a metal handle or a wooden handle?

The handle made of metal will be hotter, since metal conducts heat very well, and wood conducts heat very poorly.


Where does not increase the strength of an electromagnet?

The strength of an electromagnet does not increase when the core material is non-magnetic or poorly magnetic, such as wood or plastic. Additionally, using a low number of wire turns or a weak electric current also fails to enhance the strength of the electromagnet. Furthermore, increasing the distance between the electromagnet and the object it is meant to attract can diminish its effective strength.


A material that conducts heat poorly is a good?

insulator. Insulators have low thermal conductivity, which means they are not good conductors of heat and help to slow down the transfer of heat. This property makes them useful for insulating buildings, electrical wires, and various other applications where heat needs to be retained or kept out.


Materials that do not conduct electrical charges at all are called insulators?

No material exists that doesn't conduct electrical charges at all. We call materials that conduct electrical charges poorly insulators; a material that didn't conduct electricity at all would be a perfect insulator.


What type of material handling equipment is preferred for handling ammunintion and explosives inside a poorly ventilated area?

An electric lift, one with a explosion proof EX rating. Solves the problem of emissions. You'd have to then look at the available space to determine if you'd be better with a sit down electric or a stand up model.
