Assertion : Insulators do no allow flow ...

Assertion : Insulators do no allow flow of current through them.
Reason: Insulators have no free charge carrier

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Current arises due to continuous flow of charged particles. There is no free charge carriers in insulator hence no flow of charges are possible. Therefore current do not flow through insulators.
