Model Answer

Mica is widely used in electrical and electronics industries because of its excellent dielectric strength, low power loss factor, insulating properties, and resistance to high voltage.

Source: Non-Metallic Minerals, Chapter 5

Explanation

The question asks for one reason, but the passage lists these properties together as a combined reason. In the exam, stating any one property (e.g., "excellent insulating properties" or "resistance to high voltage") is sufficient for 1 mark. Mentioning the full set is also acceptable and safe.
