Hello!

Here is the answer for your question!

Question:- Can we use carbon to make wire for household usage ?Why or why not ?Explain.

Answer:-

  • Carbon in its pure form is not a good conductor of electricity and cannot be used for household wiring.
  • An allotrope of carbon called graphite is a conductor of electricity but is not as good as metals, it is brittle and not flexible. So, it cannot be used for wiring.

Answer:

No,we cannot use carbon to make wires for household usage. Because, ... Graphite form of carbon,can conduct electricity but it has less amount of physical strength than any other metal.

 

why

Because, We use wires in our households to conduct electricity through the whole wiring system. ... Graphite form of carbon,can conduct electricity but it has less amount of physical strength than any other metal.

why not

This is because allotropes of the carbon are poor conductors of electricity except for graphite. But, graphite has less amount of physical strength than any other metal. That's why wires made out of graphite will be very fragile.

hope this answer hepful for you if so mark me as barinliest
