Which of the following materials allows charges to flow easily?
a. wood
b. an electrical conductor
c. glass
d. an electrical insulator

Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A conductor which allows the quick or easy movement of charges through it is known an electrical conductor.

For example, copper is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Whereas wood is a non-conductive substance as it does not allow the movement of charges through it. Thus, wood is a non-conductive in nature.

Glass is a poor conductor of electricity as it inhibits the flow of free movement of electrons through it.

Insulators are the substances or material in which there is also no movement of electric charges or very little movement of electric charges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, an electrical conductor allows charges to flow easily.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
