Solution
The correct option is B False
Jute string is not a good conductor for heat and electricity. It is an insulator in nature.
On the other hand metal wires are very good conductors for heat and electricity.
The energy gap between the valence band and conduction band is infinity for the insulator (Jute). That's why the insulator does not allow current to flow it.
So, a jute string can mot be used to make a circuit.
