A) Rubber stops charges from flowing. This protects people by stopping electricity from flowing.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the point of wrapping rubber around the copper wire is that the rubber stops charges from flowing. This prevents people from getting electrical shocks by stopping the flow  of electricity.

  • A rubber is an insulator.
  • Insulators are substances that prevents the flow of electricity.
  • The lack free mobile electrons or ions that makes them conductors.
  • When they are wrapped round a conductor such as copper wire, they will halt the flow of charges.
  • Copper is a conductor of both heat and electricity. It has free mobile electrons.

How are the oscillating magnetic and electric fields of an electromagnetic wave positioned relative to each other?​
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves consist of both electric and magnetic field waves. These waves oscillate in perpendicular planes with respect to each other, and are in phase. The creation of all electromagnetic waves begins with an oscillating charged particle, which creates oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
