Question

why is copper wire used for making electrical wires
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The lower the level of resistivity, the more electrical conductivity a metal has. Copper has low resistivity, and therefore is an excellent conductor. Copper is also less oxidative than other metals

Explanation:

Answer 2

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.
