a variety of non-metal materials - fiberglass, styrofoam, rubber -- are thermal insulators; that is, when there is a
temperature difference across their ends, they do not transfer energy efficiently from the higher temperature end to
the lower temperature end.
will a thermal insulator generally have a low specific heat capacity (closer to sand) or a high specific heat capacity
(closer to water)?

a.) low specific heat capacity
b.) high specific heat capacity

Along wire of diameter 1 mm is submerged in an oil bath of temperature ∞ 31°c. the wire has an electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 ω/m. if a current of 103 a flows through the wire and the convection coefficient is 500 w/m2·k, what is the steady-state temperature of the wire? from the time the current is applied, how long does it take for the wire to reach a temperature that is within 1°c of the steady-state value? the properties of the wire are 8000 kg/m3, 500 j/kg·k, and 20 w/m·k.
