The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement (i) **Statement (i): Human body is a good conductor of electricity.** - The human body contains a significant amount of water and electrolytes, which allow electric current to flow through it. Therefore, the human body is indeed a good conductor of electricity. **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement (ii) **Statement (ii): The air gap surrounding an electric circuit acts as a conductor.** - Air is generally considered a poor conductor of electricity. It acts more like an insulator under normal conditions. Therefore, the air gap does not facilitate the flow of electric current. **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement (iii) **Statement (iii): Silver conducts electricity better than any other metal.** - Silver is known to be the best conductor of electricity among all metals. While copper is also a very good conductor, silver has a higher conductivity. **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement (iv) **Statement (iv): When electricity lights up a bulb, no heat is produced.** - When electricity flows through a bulb, it converts electrical energy into light and heat energy. Therefore, heat is indeed produced when a bulb lights up. **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Summary of Statements: - (i) Correct - (ii) Incorrect - (iii) Correct - (iv) Incorrect ### Final Answer: The correct statements are (i) and (iii). ---
