Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. An electrical conductor is defined as materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily. This property of conductors that allows them to conduct electricity is known as conductivity.
  2. Insulators are materials that hinder the free flow of electrons from one particle of the element to another
  3. Copper, Brass, Steel, Gold, and Aluminium are good conductors of electricity.
  4. We use them in electric circuits and systems in the form of wires.
  5. Mercury is an excellent liquid conductor.
  6. Conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons. Insulators oppose electrical current and make poor conductors.
  7. Thus, this material finds use in many instruments.

Thermocol is a bad conductor of electricity. Hence, electric current cannot pass through it.
