Question

Match each situation with the type of material (conductor or inductor) you would want to use in it. You need to connect a recently landed plane to the Earth in order to ground it and remove the built-up precipitation static. You would want to use this kind of material: You need to move a live power line out of a puddle of water. There is a lot of charge moving through this line, and if any makes it to your hands it's going to hurt. You would want to use this kind of material: You need a smooth sphere to put a sensitive piece of equipment inside that will minimize any sparks between the sphere and pieces of equipment outside the sphere. You would want to use this kind of material:

Answer 1

Answer: for the following process, I will explain each process and where the material is best to be used.

1. You need to connect a recently landed plane to the Earth in order to ground it and remove the built-up precipitation static. You would want to use this kind of material:

Answer: Conductor

Explanation: for you to ground the plane, you need a conductor that can be able to direct the current down to the earth. Because electron can only flow freely in a conductor.

2. You need to move a live power line out of a puddle of water. There is a lot of charge moving through this line, and if any makes it to your hands it's going to hurt. You would want to use this kind of material:

Answer: Inductor

Explanation: an Inductor resist the flow of electric current through it. You have to use an inductor, to avoid been electrocuted by the live wire. If a conductor is used current will flow through it, which may lead to electrocutions, as the water is also a conductor of electricity.

3. You need a smooth sphere to put a sensitive piece of equipment inside that will minimize any sparks between the sphere and pieces of equipment outside the sphere. You would want to use this kind of material:

Answer: Inductor

Explanation: to avoid spark, an inductor should be used, because when they is a friction between a conductors and an electric current, they will be a spark. So an inductor should be used to avoid spark. Inductors does not give a spark when in friction with an electric current

AN INDUCTOR IS ANY MATERIAL THAT RESIST THE FLOW OF ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH IT.

A CONDUCTOR IS ANY MATERIAL THAT ALLOWS THE FLOW ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH IT.
