Aluminum allows for the flow of electrons, while glass does not. Would an aluminum wire surrounded by glass be an effective design for a device that will need to carry an electric current?(1 point)

Question

Responses

No, it would not. Both aluminum and glass are insulators, so the device would not carry a current.
No, it would not. Both aluminum and glass are insulators, so the device would not carry a current.

No, it would not. Both aluminum and glass are conductors, so the current would be exposed to outside elements.
No, it would not. Both aluminum and glass are conductors, so the current would be exposed to outside elements.

Yes, it would. Aluminum is a conductor, and the glass would prevent electricity from transferring to a person holding the device.

Yes, it would. The glass would carry the current, while aluminum is an insulator.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Yes, it would. Aluminum is a conductor, and the glass would prevent electricity from transferring to a person holding the device.

In this design, the aluminum wire would effectively carry the electric current while the glass acts as an insulating material, preventing electrical shocks to a person handling the device.
