it is actually a conductor of heat and electricity. you can check by puting some foil on a piece of toast on a really hot day and if you wait a while it will turn into crispy toast.

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.


Is floil an insulator or a conductor?

What is floil? Do you mean aluminum foil? If so, metals conduct heat fairly well.


Is aluminium foil a Conductor or an Insulator?

i think it is a insulator


Is aluminum foil an insulator or a conductor?

Aluminum foil can be use as both insulator and conductor. It can wrap and trap air inside cause thermal insulating effect but in other hand, aluminum itself is a conductor for evenly distribution of heat throughout the food. Aspect of substance fabricated is different from an insulation conduction aspect of a substance.


Is tin foil a good insulator?

What we usually refer to as tin foil is almost always aluminum foil. Aluminum is a very good conductor of heat, and aluminum foil makes a very poor insulator. The exception might be in the case of radiant energy, which it reflects well, and even better when it is polished.

Is aluminum a good heat insulator?

No. Aluminum is a very good conductor of heat.


Aluminum foil is it a cold conductor?

Things do not conduct cold, they conduct heat. Being a metal aluminum foil is both a good conductor of heat and electricity.


Is aluminum foil a better heat conductor than metal?

no because aluminum foil is a metal


Is aluminum foil a good conductor for electricity or heat?

Does aluminum foil attract heat?

answ2. Heat is not 'attracted' 'repelled' by anything.Polished aluminum foil will, and thus is a thermal insulator.Aluminium metal itself is a good conductor of heat.It will reflect the sunlight and retain the heat.


Does aluminum foil cunduct heat?

yes but it is poor conductor so yes it does.
