Year 10 Chemistry Revision

Why are the poles of a power line in our street made of wood?

• Wood is a conductor- they stop electrical current from the power lines hitting the ground

• So that during thunderstorms in winter, there isn't as much electrical current in the power line

• Because electrons can move faster through wood compared to any other material

• Wood is an insulator- they stop electrical current from the power lines hitting the ground
