Question

silver is the best conductor of electricity . can you say whybcooper is preferred for making electric​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Silver (Ag) will have high melting point. So It is the best conductor of electricity.It is less expensive as compared to Copper(Cu).

Copper (Cu) is used for making electric objects because it is the best conductor of heat and electricity than Ag (Silver).
