Question

Both Copper and silver are conductor of electric but only copper is used for making electric wires and not silver why

Answer 1

Answer:

Although silver has less resistivity than copper, and allows more current flow, it is not used

Explanation:

As silver is more cstly than copper qnd it is a soft metal which cannot be used for high resistance wires, it is not used.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

Copper is widely used for making electric wires though silver is the best conductor of electricity because:-

1. Copper is cheaper than silver
2. Silver tarnishes when in contact with air but copper does not
3. Copper is ductile, i.e., it can bend without breaking
4. Copper allows electric current to flow without much energy loss
