Question

For electric power transmission, copper or aluminium wire is used.Give Scientific reasons.

Answer 1

These wire copper and aluminium are very great conductors of electricity. Therefore they are used for electric power transmission

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Copper/aluminum wires are used for electric power transmission because -
- As both Cu & Al have very low resistivity, they offer very low resistance of flow of electric current through them.
- Hence, Cu/Al wires are used to carry electricity because they are very good conductors of electricity.
