Uses of good and poor conductors in daily life - class-VI

The direct contact of cooker and corn is an example of conduction.

The molecules of medium transfer heat as they vibrate about mean position in conduction.
The molecules of medium absorb heat, they rise and other molecules of medium come to take their place convection
In radiation, medium does not play role.

Air is a gas and its molecules are far apart from each other. So, this is not a good condition for conduction. Also, air being a non-metal doesn't have free electrons for conduction. Hence option B is not applicable.

She must pack the woolen sweater, because even in summer; Kashmir's climate will definitely too much cool. As wool is good insulator of heat; it insulates body from the surrounding. And the air which is trapped between woolen fabrics. It prevents the flow of heat from the body; as air is also bad conductor of heat. So as a result the heat present in the body remains trapped in the body; it can't escape to atmosphere.

We wear cotton clothes during summer as cotton absorbs sweat from the body exposing to the atmosphere for easy evaporation. As we tend to sweat more during summer and cotton fabric absorb sweat and help body to cool down. Cotton allows better air circulation which helps to absorb and removing body moisture caused by sweat via evaporation cotton fabric is very light in weight.

As we tend to sweat more during summer and cotton fabric absorbs sweat and help body to cool down. Cotton allows better air circulation which helps to absorb and removing body moisture caused by sweat via evaporation.

Dark coloured clothes during summer is a wrong pair of clothes. As during summer, heat present in the atmosphere and surrounding is too much. And when dark colored clothes are the worm, as we know dark color absorbs more heat than any other color. So it will increase the heat felt by our body during summer.

Wool is used in making garments used in winter because wool is bad conductor of heat; it insulates the body from the surrounding. And the air which is trapped in between the wool fibers; prevents the flow of heat from our body to the cool surrounding. As air is the bad conductor of heat too it also insulates the body with wool.

Wool is the fabric that is preferred for winter garments. As wool is bad conductor of heat. It insulates the body from the surrounding. And the air which is trapped in between the wool fibers; it prevents the flow of heat from our body to cool surrounding.

Reason behind using woolen clothes during winter is that wool is the bad conductor of heat, it insulates the body from the surrounding. And the air which is trapped between woolen fabrics, prevents the flow of heat from the body as air is a bad conductor of heat too. So as a result the heat present in the body remains trapped in the body, it can't escape to atmosphere.

Air trapped by the woolen fabric help us during winter. As air is bad conductor of heat and doesn't allow body heat to escape into atmosphere. The heat stored inside the body does not goes out as wool and air acts as a layer of insulator. And body heat is not escaped from the body.

$Object \ A \rightleftharpoons Object\ B$
Both are at same temperature or there is not temperature difference between them.

All of them are gases, which are not good conductors of heat.

All gases are poor conductor of heat. Air is a very poor conductor of heat.

Substances become bad conductors of heat when they contain a large number of free electrons. This is because the electrons contained in atom of these elements are not closely bond to nucleus.

The tubes are covered with asbestos layer in order to prevent heat less by conduction.

Mercury because it has low freezing point and high boiling point so it can be used over wide range of temperature.

The thermometric liquid should be of high MP and BP and good conductor of heat, so it quickly absorbs heat to obtain temperature of object.

Conduction: Process of transfer of heat by contacting one body with other. In this process, heat transfer takes place without moving the particles.

Metals are good conductor of heat whereas wood does not conduct heat at all.

Copper is a metal and is an excellent conductor of heat. Glass and plastic are insulators (poor conductors), and water is a poor conductor compared to metals.

When we heat an object, it changes its shape, nature and it becomes hot, the temperature increases due to movement of atoms.

All of them, being metals, are good conductors.

The better the conductor, the more rapidly does heat transfer takes place .

Copper bottoms are provided in steel pans because copper is better conductor of heat than steel.

Heat conduction rate H = kA(delta T)/L. Since material and delta T are constant, H is proportional to A/L, or (r^2)/L. Calculating r^2/L for each: A) 1/1=1, B) 1/2=0.5, C) 1/0.5=2, D) 0.25/0.5=0.5. Option C gives the highest value.

Wood is a poor conductor of heat (an insulator), whereas gold, silver, and iron are metals and good conductors of heat.
