Why copper is used for making wires but not silver?
In the properties of metals it is mentioned that metals are ductile that is, they can be stretched in to long wires and are conductors of electricity. But in this case both copper and silver are metals so, in this copper is the one used for making wires because it allows electricity to pass trough it more easily and smoothly than silver so, even if these wires made of copper are really long, it will still be able to pass electricity smoothly and easily through it.
