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.
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.
Is padded fabric conductor or insulator of heat?
probably insulator
Do you say insulator of heat or bad conductor of heat Which is correct Or both are correct?
well, i think both would be correct, though a "bad conductor of heat" would be better. Or you could say "insulator for heat" or simply insulator....
What is the difference between a good insulator and a bad one?
A good insulator is good at stopping heat escaping, whereas a bad insulator is not very good at trapping heat and lets it out.
