Question
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)
Responses

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

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.

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

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

The correct response to the question about whether an aluminum wire surrounded by glass would be an effective design for a device that carries an electric current is:

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

Aluminum is indeed a conductor, which means it allows the flow of electric current, while glass is an insulator that would help prevent electric shock to a person handling the device.
