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. 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 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.
No, it would not. Both aluminum and glass are conductors, so the current would be exposed to outside
No, it would not. Both aluminum and glass are conductors, so the current would be exposed to outside interference or short circuiting.
Glass is a conductor? Since when?
Al surrounded by glass works fine.
Al conducts, Glass insulates.
Unfortunately glass breaks so this is not a common solution.
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct, glass is an insulator and not a conductor. A wire made of aluminum surrounded by glass would indeed be an effective design for carrying an electric current, as aluminum is a conductor and the glass would provide insulation and prevent the electricity from transferring to a person holding the device. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Correct answer: No, it would not. Both aluminum and glass are insulators, so the device would not carry a current. (1 point)
Explanation: In this scenario, both aluminum and glass are insulators, meaning they do not allow the flow of electrons. In order for a device to carry an electric current, it requires a conductor that allows the flow of electrons. Since both aluminum and glass are insulators, the electric current would not be able to flow through the wire surrounded by glass.
