Question

Insulators can be charged despite being poor conductors of electricity.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

An insulator is a term given to materials which are bad conductors of electricity. Materials are classified as good and bad conductors based on the amount of free electrons available. Since most of the non-metals have very few free electrons, they do not allow electric charge to move freely through the material. Hence they can get charged easily but are poor conductors of electricity.
