Explain why both conductors and insulators are required to construct the electrical wiring in your home.

Conductors (something that allows electricity to flow easily) allow for electricity to flow easily. This would be the wires. If you don't have conductors, then you cannot have electricity flow.
Insulators (something that doesn't allow electricity to flow through it) is important because it allows us to be able to touch the cables or place them next to one another and not shock ourselves.

To construct electrical wiring in your home, both conductors and insulators are required. Conductors, such as copper wires, allow electrons to flow freely, enabling the passage of electric current. Insulators, on the other hand, prevent the flow of electric charge and are used to encase and protect the conductors. By using insulating materials, we can ensure that the electrical current stays within the wires and does not create any unwanted electrical hazards.

Electrical wiring requires conductors to allow electricity to flow easily and insulators to protect users from electrical shock. Conductors, like copper, carry the current, while insulators, such as plastic, prevent the current from escaping the wires. Together, they ensure a safe and functional electrical system in homes.
