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?
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 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.

However, it is important to note that if the aluminum wire was surrounded by glass, there would be no direct contact between the aluminum and any external elements, reducing the risk of electrical shock or damage.
