Using the 'conduction tester on an objectit was found that the bulb begins to glow. Is that object a conductor or an insulator? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

That object is a conductor .The bulb of conduction tester glows on touching this object which means that conduction is happening through this object i. e ., electric current is flowing through it .
