Question

why copper wires are usually employed for electricity transmission?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Copper wires have good electrical conductivity and low resistivity because of which they offer minimum resistance to the current flowing through them

So copper wires are used in electricity transmission

Answer 2

Answer:

copper wires are usually employed for electricity transmission

Explanation:

Among the known metals silver has the highest electric conductivity. But its use as electric wires is expensive and chance of robbery.so the next metal with high conductivity is copper.as it is cheaper than silver it is used as electric wires.
