give reason why electric wire with frayed plastic should be discarded and replaced.

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,
It is so as the frayed plastic will provide a free region where electric current will be flowing without insulation.
So if someone touches that frayed portion accidentally then they can catch a shock, which will be fatal.
