All metals have some amount of resistivity to electrical currents, which is why they require a power source to push the current through. ... Copper has low resistivity, and therefore is an excellent conductor. Copper is also less oxidative than other metals.

Copper is a good conductor of electricity but we use aluminium as a conductor in transmission lines . The main reason of not using copper is the cost . conductivity of copper is higher than the aluminium . ... so due the cost factor we are using aluminum instead of using copper.
