Can you use a copper wire to make a filament of an electric bulb?
No, copper wire cannot be used to make the filament of an electric bulb as copper wire has very low resistance. Therefore, the bulb will not glow if current is passed. It would also melt - the filament has to be white-hot to be any use!
Can you use copper wire to make the filament of bulb?
yes you caan
Why is a copper wire not used to make filaments of electric bulbs?
Because the filament is in effect a resistor. Copper is too good a conductor to provide resistance to the current, and would simply allow the current to complete the circuit. The light is generated by the filament glowing as it heats up in resistance to the current. Tungsten is a much better resistor.
Which element is used to make the filament of electric bulbs?

What metal is usually used to make a electric wire?
Copper
Why is copper commonly use to make electric wires?
Copper is used to make electrical wire because it is ductile and is very conductive. The ease with which copper can be worked and drawn ("pulled" or "stretched") into wire (because of its ductility) makes it a great mechanical choice for wire. And copper is highly conductive, that is, it has a low resistance to electric current flow. These two properties make copper an excellent choice to make electrical wire.
What percentage of copper in Electric generator?
The amount of an electric motor's copper depends upon the size of the motor and the supplies used to make it. Generally, the older the motor, the more copper will be present.
