Question 19. Wet rubber is a

  1. Conductor
  2. Semiconductor
  3. Insulator
  4. None of these

Answer: 1. Conductor

Question 20. Conductors and insulators both are important in our daily lives. Mostly all the wires are covered with a plastic layer, because if we use the bare wires, we may get electric shock. Some objects like switch board, sockets, and plugs all are made up of insulators. You must have seen the electric poles in your locality that carry electric wires. These wires are made up of aluminium, and copper and carry a high voltage. Conductors are made for carrying electricity while insulators are made for safety uses. Hence, both conductors and insulators are equally important for 

1. Which of the following are conductors

  1. Iron, steel, tap water
  2. The human body, glass, wood
  3. Pure water, plastic, rubber
  4. None ofthe above

Answer:  1. Iron, steel, tap water
