Question

why is copper used to make electric wires?will you use silver for the same purpose?​

Answer 1

Answer:

copper is good conductor of electricity and it offers very less resistance

we can also use silver for same purpose but we don't because silver is very costly

Answer 2

Answer:

$Copper$

• Copper is used for electrical wiring for the following reasons :-

1. Because it is a good conductor of electricity. Metal particles are held together by strong metallic bonds, which is why they have high melting and boiling points. The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.
2. Because It is ductile.

Ductility is the ability of a material to change its shape by stretching along its length.

$Silver$

Yes, we can use the silver for electrical wiring.....

• Silver is also used for electrical wiring but we don't use it for the following reasons :-

1. Because Silver is very expensive to use and so copper are used to make electric wires.
2. Due to finance issues and less availability of silver than the copper we are going with copper in transformers.
