Answer:
Because silver is very costly.
Explanation:
Silver is a metal with the best resistivity. It allows the easiest flow of current. The only problem is that the metal is rare and costly metal due to which we cannot produce silver wires commercially. We use copper for this reason as it is cheap, a good conductor with good resistivity and can be made commercially.
Silver wires are used mostly in laboratories.
