I Need to Know What are some organic insulators of heatAlso what are insulatorsAlso why are styrofoam plastic paper or aluminum good or bad insulators.
I have never performed a di-electric strength test on photocopy or computer printer paper but it is sure to be several hundred voltsSince you are making a stack capacitor, each piece of paper will be in seriesGiven this fact, if the capacitor consists of 20 pieces of paper, and the applied voltage is 120 Volts, the voltage drop across each piece of paper, will be 6 VoltsIf you are intending to test your capacitor by connecting it to the public supply, you should do so under proper supervisionFurthermore, once the capacitor is charged by a 120 Volt supply, it is the same as a 120 Volt battery and therefore is very dangerous - DO NOT TOUCH THE TWO ENDS OF THE CAPACITOR.
A couple of organic insulators would be straw, liefs and mossInsulators stop air movementusually fluffy material that stops wind and air from penetratingA solid material usually transfers the heat muscularlyThere is a heat molecule but there is no such thing as a cold moleculeCold is a word to describe a lack of heatPlastic in a solid form is a poor insulator, paper if crumbles up can be a good insulator, Aluminium is a poor insulator as it transfers the molecules efficientlyPlastic is used more as vapor barrierA vapor barrier can also be beneficial in stopping heat that escapes in moisture.
