Question

Name the material which is used for making electrical wires. Why is this material preferred?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The most common material for electrical wire is copper and aluminum, these are not the best conductors however they are abundant and low cost. Gold is also used in applications because it is corrosion resistant.

Aluminum isn't as effective of a conductor for electricity or heat as copper, but it has other benefits and is cheaper to use. Aluminum is lighter than copper and is highly malleable. It creates its own covering with an oxide layer, which reduces corrosion but can obstruct the electricity flow.

Answer 2

Explanation:

copper is used more in making electrical wires because they are good conductors of electricity
