To prevent leakage of current
To prevent shock
Both of above factors
None of above factors
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: C. Both of above factors
Insulation on a current carrying conductor is provided to prevent leakage of current and to prevent shock.
Leakage of current can occur when there is a break in the insulation, which can allow current to flow to the ground or to other objects. This can cause a shock or even a fire.
Shock can occur when a person comes into contact with a current carrying conductor. The insulation helps to prevent this by providing a barrier between the conductor and the person.
Without insulation, current would be able to flow freely through the conductor, which could lead to serious problems.
