Question

thermal insulators: rubber, wood, plastic, fiberglass, foam; thermal conductors: metal, ceramic, concrete, graphite, diamond. a coffeemaker needs to transfer heat from the base to the pot. what would be a good material to use for this? options: ceramic, none of these would be good, plastic, fiberglass

Explanation:

To transfer heat from the base to the pot, a thermal conductor is needed (since insulators like Plastic, Fiberglass, etc., prevent heat transfer). From the table, Ceramic is listed under Thermal Conductors, while Plastic and Fiberglass are insulators. So Ceramic is a good material as it conducts heat.

Answer:

A. Ceramic
