To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will go through them step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement I **Statement I:** The tires of an aircraft are slightly conducting. - **Explanation:** The tires of an aircraft are made from rubber, which is generally an insulator. However, they are designed to be slightly conducting to allow for the dissipation of static electricity. When an aircraft is in motion, especially during takeoff and landing, it can accumulate static charge due to friction with the air. If the tires were purely insulating, this charge could build up and potentially cause sparks or even explosions if it ignites fuel vapors. Therefore, the slight conductivity of the tires helps in safely dissipating this charge. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement II ...
