No,

Here is the deep reason for that;

==>Gold, for example, is an excellent conductor of electricity, but it costs several times more than copper. If companies used gold to manufacture electrical wires, they'd essentially waste money, as copper is more conductive and costs less than its goal counterpart.

Answer:

Copper is used in a variety of applications, one of applications, one of which is electrical wires. Whether it’s a power cable for a TV, computer, kitchen appliance or construction tool, it’s probably made of copper. Featuring the atomic number 29, this red-brown metal has become essential to our everyday life by helping power countless devices. But copper isn’t the only material that can transmit electricity, so why is it preferred for creating electrical wires?

High Conductivity

Surpassed only by silver, copper is a highly conductive metal. This means electricity can pass through it with greater ease, making it ideal for use in electrical wires. Companies can use other conductive metals to create electrical wires. Unless they use silver, though, the high conductivity properties of copper allow for a greater distance of electrical current travel. Companies can create longer, better performing electrical wires using copper instead of most other conductive metals.

Inexpensive

Copper is also relatively inexpensive when compared to other metals. Gold, for example, is an excellent conductor of electricity, but it costs several times more than copper. If companies used gold to manufacture electrical wires, they’d essentially waste money, as copper is more conductive and costs less than its goal counterpart. This alone is reason enough to make copper the de-facto standard for electrical wires.
