Two wires carrying electricity can create a spark if they come too close together. This spark can start a fire. Wires carrying electricity are usually covered with plastic to keep to keep them from starting a fire. Why does the plastic keep the electricity from starting a fire?

• Plastic is a good insulator

• Plastic can melt when heated

• Plastic is softer than wire

• plastic conducts electricity
