Question

why did you air-dry the copper electrodes rather than using paper towel to dry them?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

becoz paper towel is a conductor of electricity and we would get an electric shock

Answer 2

Copper electrodes are air-dried rather than using a paper towel to dry them because:

• For a while, dry paper towels serve as effective insulators against heat and electricity. When the paper towel reaches the thermal breakdown temperature, it will begin to conduct heat.
• Paper towels lose their ability to act as an electrical insulator over time as they absorb moisture from the air.
• Drying the copper electrode by air will lessen the possibility of getting burned by the electrode's heat or receiving an electric shock.
• Since some of the electrons from the experiment may still be flowing through the electrodes. After air-drying, there is no risk of receiving an electric shock.
• The moisture in the electrodes is completely removed. As a result, air drying the copper electrodes is preferable to using paper towels as a contactless method of drying them.
