Question 21
Observe the following circuit given in figure.

Current does not flow in the circuit if there is a gap between the two wires. Does it indicate that air is a poor conductor of electricity? Does air never conduct electricity? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes, if current is not flowing through the air gap between the wires, it means that air is a poor conductor of electricity.
No, air conducts electricity only when there is great voltage or there is some moisture in the air, such as during lightening.
