Q22.This drill contains an electric motor.

                                      

          The diagram below shows the main parts of an electric motor.

                                  

          The carbon contacts are made of graphite. Springs push the contacts against the copper ring.The carbon contacts conduct electricity to the copper ring. The copper ring rotates rapidly but does not stick or become worn because the graphite is soft and slippery.

(a)     Using this information give two properties that make graphite suitable for making the carbon contacts.
