Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the object is a conductor or an insulator based on the conduction tester's results, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Conduction Tester**: - A conduction tester is a device that checks whether an object allows electric current to pass through it. It typically consists of a bulb and a battery connected by wires. 2. **Observing the Bulb's Behavior**: ...
