Question 294Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhich of the following materials is a good electrical insulator?
Awood
Bsilver
Cgold
Dcopper
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) wood. Wood is a good electrical insulator because it has a high resistance to the flow of electric current. Insulators are materials that do not readily allow the passage of electric charge or current. In contrast, materials like silver, gold, and copper are good electrical conductors, meaning they allow electric current to flow through them easily. The other answer choices (B, C, and D) are all metals, which are generally good conductors of electricity and thus not suitable as electrical insulators.
