If accidently your school's electrical wires catch fire then what will you do?
a)use water
b)try to control it by putting sand
c)use fire entinguisher

Dear Student,

The best way to to control fire produced by short circuiting electric wires is to throw sand on the fire as thin this will cut the oxygen supply and therefore, the combustion/fire will cut off.

While using water is not helpful, as water is a good conductor of electricity.

Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic.

Looking forward to hear from you again!!
