Identify dangers with electrical conductors. Look at the pictures and answer the questions that follow.

Here are the answers to your questions: 1. The parts of the heater made of a material that can conduct electricity are the heating elements (the glowing coils inside) and the metal wires within the electrical cord. 2. The danger about the electrical cord on the toaster is that if it is frayed, cut, or damaged, the exposed internal wires could cause an electric shock or a short circuit. 3. It would be dangerous to place the heater on the side of a bath because water is a good conductor of electricity. If the heater falls into the bath or gets splashed with water, it could cause a severe electric shock or electrocution to anyone in the bath or touching the water. 4. Two ways you could get an electric shock if handling the appliances in the pictures are: Touching the exposed heating elements* of the heater or toaster while they are plugged in and operating. Touching damaged or frayed electrical cords* where the conductive wires are exposed. 5. Two things you could do to reduce the risk of an accident with electricity are: Always ensure your hands are dry* before touching any electrical appliance or plug. Regularly inspect electrical cords* for damage and replace any that are frayed or cut. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
