She will get an electric shock

Name a liquid that conducts electricity.

Saltwater/Tapwater

Would this be a conductor or an insulator? Why?

Conductor, because it's metal!

What are the components of circuit?

cell, cell holder, lamp, lamp older, wire

What type of water does not conduct electricity

Pure water/distilled water

Why is rubber good to use around a wire?

It is an insulator, it does not allow electricity to pass through it.

Appliances like microwave ovens, electric kettles and power drills use __________ electricity.

Main electricity

Give examples of materials that are conductor.

Why are insulators important in an electrical circuit?

They make the circuit safe to touch. Insulator does not allow electricity to pass through.
