← ScienceWhich consequence arises when a sustained voltage forces silver ions into vulcanized rubber?
A)Increased tensile strength develops
B)Electrical conductivity becomes significant✓
C)Significant depolymerization accelerates reactions
D)Gas permeability decreases sharply
💡 Explanation
Significant conductivity arises because silver ions introduce mobile charge carriers throughout the insulating rubber matrix driven by the electric field. This process is electrolytic conduction rather than electronic conduction, therefore the rubber's insulating properties shift, rather than other mechanical or chemical changes.
