Question

Human body is a good conductor of electricity.
(A) True
(B) False

Answer 1

Hint: Conductors are substances or materials, which allows the passage of electrons through them. Few common examples of conductors are, silver, copper, etc.
Good conductors of electricity are those which allow easy passage of electrons from it. For example: Copper is a good conductor, and is generally used in our homes for wiring.
Bad conductors of electricity or are also called insulators, are those which don't allow passage of electrons from it. For example: Wood is a bad conductor of electricity.

Complete step by step answer:
We have been given a statement i.e., “Human body is a good conductor of electricity.” We need to state whether it is true or false.
Have you ever observed that we are asked to not touch the electric appliances with wet hands, or any electric appliances in general. Why do we get such warnings from our parents or guardians? We know that our body is just like a machine which consists of 70% water and is made up of billions of cells, and those cells contain various ions like sodium, potassium, chloride ions, etc. and we know that ions have the tendency to conduct electricity.
And we also know that conductors are substances which allow the passage of electricity through them, same thing happened with human body, so this makes our body a good conductor of electricity. Hence, True, Human body is a good conductor of electricity.

Note:Students should always keep in mind to never touch any electrical appliances with wet hands, always dry your hands before touching any appliances. As you may get fatal shock from it, and that can be too dangerous for you.
