Question

True or False
Plastics are the good conductor of electricity

Answer 1

Answer:

false.....................

Answer 2

It is false that, plastics are the good conductor of electricity.

To properly understand this answer, we have to know more about conductors and insulators.

Conductors and insulators :

• "The materials which can conduct a good amount of electrical charges (by movement of free electrons) are known as conductors." (i.e. good conductors have low Electrical resistance)
• On the other hand, "the materials which have high electrical resistance and obstruct the flow of electrical charges, are known as insulators."

In general, most plastics are categorised as the insulator of electricity, as they are unable to conduct a good amount of electrical charges through them. That's why, we cannot say that the plastics are good conductor of electricity.

Hence, it is false that plastics are good conductors of electricity.
