Explanation:

Though Silver is a very good conductor of electricity but still that is not used in electric wiring primarily due to its cost. It’s very expensive compared to the widely used wiring material copper.

Another reason for not using Silver is that, it oxidizes easily and tarnishes when it comes in contact with air. More tarnishing generates more heat and in turn it can cause fire as well.

So it is not safe to use silver wires for electrical purposes.

Explanation:

silver silver is a best conductor of electricity but it not used to make conducting wires because

the malleability of silver is low than other metals like copper aluminium

therefore silver is not used to make conducting wires

and also silver is most costly so it is not used to make conducting wires

hope this helped you buddy please mark me as brainliest
