Jason has noticed that the rubber has been stripped from parts of an electric
cord. The cord could be dangerous because:
A. the electrons are now insulated from flowing outside the metal
wires.
B. the device may be overloaded with too much electricity.
C. the electrons will not flow as easily to power the device,
D. there is no longer an insulator to keep the electrons from flowing
outside the metal wires.

Answer: D is the correct answer

Explanation: When there is no insulator surrounding a metal wire then there is nothing to stop the electrons from flowing outside of the wire, This means that anything the wire comes in contact with could get shocked or burnt when there is a current flowing through the wire.

There is no longer an insulator to keep the electrons from flowing

outside the metal wires. D is the correct answer.

What is an insulator?

An insulator is an object that does not let heat or energy pass through it very well or not all.

When there is no insulator surrounding a metal wire then there is nothing to stop the electrons from flowing outside of the wire, This means that anything the wire comes in contact with could get shocked or burnt when there is a current flowing through the wire.

Hence, there is no longer an insulator to keep the electrons from flowing outside the metal wires.
