Mark‘True’ or ‘False’ for the followingstatements:
(a) Electriccurrent can flow through metals.
(b) Insteadof metal wires, a jute string can be used to make a circuit.
(c) Electriccurrent can pass through a sheet of thermocol.

Solution

(a) True
Metalsare good conductors of electricity. They allow an electric current toflow through them easily. Hence, an electric current can flow throughmetals.
(b) False
Jutestring is a bad conductor of electricity.If jute string is used to make an electric circuit, then the currentwill not flow through it. Hence, strings made of jute cannot be usedto make circuits.
(c) False
Thermocolis a bad conductor of electricity. Hence, electric current cannotpass through it.
