Question

The material which allows electric current to pass through it, is called

• A. Insulator
• B. Conductor
• C. Both (a) and (b)
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Conductor

The correct option is (B): Conductor

The explanation for the correct option:

(B) Conductor

1. A conductor is a substance that permits electric current to travel through it.
2. Conductors have free electrons that may readily flow and create current.

The explanation for the incorrect option:

(A) Insulator

1. An insulator is a substance that does not enable an electric current to pass through it.
2. The electrons in the atoms of the insulator are tightly bound and cannot easily move.

Hence option B is correct
