Is sponge a good heat insulator?
Sponge is not a good heat insulator as it is porous and can easily transfer heat. Materials like cork or fiberglass are better heat insulators due to their low thermal conductivity.
What do you calla substance that reduces heat energy transfer?
An insulator
Is platinum a insulator?
Platinum is a horrible insulator. Being metal, it conducts heat and electricity quite well.
Is lead conductor semi conductor or insulator?
Lead is a metal and is considered a good conductor of electricity. It is not a semiconductor or insulator.
Does a thermal insulator keep heat in or out or both?
A thermal insulator is designed to keep heat in or out, depending on the direction of heat flow. It reduces heat transfer by trapping air or creating a barrier that slows down the movement of heat energy.
Is potato an insulator of heat?
a potato is not an heat insulator because it's skin,but if you take the skin off it will be a heat insulator
Is sponge a good heat insulator?
Sponge is not a good heat insulator as it is porous and can easily transfer heat. Materials like cork or fiberglass are better heat insulators due to their low thermal conductivity.
Is nitrogen a good insulator of heat?
Nitrogen is not a good insulator of heat. It is a poor conductor of heat, but it is not an effective insulator as it does not trap heat well and can easily transfer heat through convection or conduction.
An object that can transfer heat easily is an?
An insulator. More specifically, a thermal (heat) insulator, as opposed to an electrical insulator, which suppresses the flow of electricity.
What is a good insulator and why?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
What does the term 'insulator' means?
insulator is a object that is not a good conductorSo it keeps the heat in.
What does a heat insulator do?
. A insulator is an element in the genetic code.
Why is insulation a good insulator?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
What is the difference between a heat insulator and elctrical insulator?
an electrical insulator blocks the flow of electricity (like the rubber around power cords that stop you from getting electrecuted) and a heat insulator block the flow of heat (like a thermos)
How is a sound insulator similar to and different from a heat insulator?
vvvvvvv
Is padded fabric conductor or insulator of heat?
probably insulator
Is wood of heat a conductor or insulator?
wood is an insulator of heat because its electrons don't allow heat and electricity to flow through them
