Silver is used as a low resistance conductive material. Contactors and relays contact points are made of copper and are silver plated to obtain the lowest resistance between the moving contact faces.
Silver is used as a conductor in electrical work.
Wire made from silver is likely to bend and silver is too soft
Yes. Silver is a very good conductor of electricity. However, copper and aluminum are nearly as good and much cheaper.
Silver can be used to make electrical wires, but it is not cheap. Copper is much less expensive and is more cost effective.
A conductor.
Yes, silver is an excellent conductor.
copper
Soldering is a way of joining one component to another component. Components on a printed circuit board are held in place with solder. Solder being a conductive compound lends itself very nicely in the electrical and electronic industries.
The two main types of electrical wire are made from copper and aluminium. The copper wires are used mostly in installations up to 3/0. The aluminium wires are used mostly on service entrances and feeders that need conductors above 3/0. This keeps the costs down when larger size conductors are needed.
Gold,silver,copper, aluminum are good conductors of electricity, in that order.Aluminum is cheap and widely used for most purposes.Copper is used for winding of motors and also house internal wiring if you can afford it.
Carbon, due to it's high melting point.
Silver is not used for electrical wires mainly for two reasons. Silver is too expensive to use and it is a soft metal which is not suitable for electrical wires.
Their high conductivity is why transition metals are used to make electrical wires.
Because it is costly
Even though silver is the best conductor of electricity, it is extremely expensive. Thus silver is not used to make electical wires. Silver is also very soft to be used as electric wires.
Silver is the best electrical conductor in the periodic table, next is copper. Copper is used in wires because it is nerly as good as silver, but is far cheaper.
cheese
No, copper is commonly used to make wire.
Because of thier high conductivity
Silver is the most electrically conductive, but copper and gold are used because copper is less expensive, and gold does not corrode.
Out of all the common metals copper is the best electrical conductor. Only silver is slightly better.
Lead could fall into that category.
Silver is the best electrical conductor. Copper is second. Gold is third. Aluminum is a good conductor but not for house wiring. It is used for high tension wires.
