Conductor and Insulators

The plastic covering is there to:

• Provide a conductor for electrical energy to flow.

• Provide an insulator so that electrical energy will not pass outside of the wires.

• Provide a conductor so that electrical energy can NOT flow.

• Provide an insulator so that electrical energy can flow.
