why are electric switches made of plastic?
Answers
Answer:
Plastic is an insulator of electricity, which means that it does not allow electric current to pass through it.
If the switches are made of any conductor, we would get a shock every time we touch the switch.
Thus electric switches are made of plastic.

Answer:
HI your answer is as follows
Explanation:
plastics are generally bad conductors or insulators of electricity as well as heat
as in case of electrical switches there is approximately a voltage of 220 V
which is very high if the switches are made of metal the user who on/off the switches will get an electric shock
if the switches are made of glass which is also n insulator there are high chances of the glass to break
So therefore Plastic which has a good tensile strength and also a bad conductor of electricity is used in making of switches
Hope it helps
