Task Explanation:
The task is to identify whether each object in the images is a
conductor or an
insulator of electricity. Conductors allow electric current to pass through them easily, while insulators do not.
Solution:
#### 1. Towel
-
Material: Typically made of cotton or synthetic fibers.
-
Conductivity: Insulator (fibers do not conduct electricity well).
-
Answer: I
#### 2. Bicycle Tire
-
Material: Rubber and fabric.
-
Conductivity: Insulator (rubber is a poor conductor).
-
Answer: I
#### 3. Scissors
-
Material: Metal blades.
-
Conductivity: Conductor (metal conducts electricity well).
-
Answer: C
#### 4. Glass Cup
-
Material: Glass.
-
Conductivity: Insulator (glass does not conduct electricity).
-
Answer: I
#### 5. Basketball
-
Material: Leather or rubber exterior, with air inside.
-
