Which of following materials are used to cover the         1
                                     conducting wire?

                                        a)  Plastic
                               4
                                        b)  Glass
                                        c)  Diamond

                                        d)  Wood
                                     Why is copper a preferred choice in making electrical      1
                                     wires?


                                        a)  Copper is a good conductor of electricity
                               5        b)  Poor conductor of electricity

                                        c)  Insulators
                                        d)  Superconductors

                                     Assertion: Handles of an electric iron are all made of  1
                                     insulating materials.
                               6
                                     Reason: Insulator prevents us from getting electric
                                     shock.

                                     Write the difference between conductors and                2
                               7
                                     insulators.


                                 8   What are insulators? Give any two examples?                2
