During wiring troubleshooting on an A320, you see current leakage to structure. Which matter concept helps explain the fix?

Answer	Conductors allow electrons to move, but insulation should prevent electron movement outside the wire. If insulation is damaged, electrons can travel to unintended paths (structure), causing leakage or shorts. WHY IT MATTERS: It links atomic electron behavior to real electrical faults and safety risks. AIRCRAFT EXAMPLE: Damaged wire insulation in a harness can cause intermittent faults or arcing. MEMORY AID: Current follows the easiest path if insulation fails. EASA TIP: EASA scenario questions often connect “insulator vs conductor” to faults.
