Copper is the first choice followed by the use of aluminium. These two are the most common in use today as conductors.

What is a non-conductive resistor?
non-conductive resistors are resistors made from materials which do not allow the passage or flow of electric current through them.
How does a switch control a parallel circuit?
The same as in any other circuit - in the case of a parallel circuit, the switch will either allow or not allow current to pass through one particular branch.
When is a circuit considered a dry circuit?
when contacts on a switch or relay does not melt enough surface to allow current flow
What does it mean to say a diode has a forward bias?
Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, and if the diode is put a certain way around in the circuit such that it DOES allow current to flow, then it is forward biassed. If the diode is put in the circuit so that it doesn't allow the current to flow, then it is reverse biassed.It is just a term used to describe the orientation of the diode relative to the (conventional) flow of current through the circuit.
What are the uses of the relay?
They can be used as a kind of safety switch to allow a circuit with a small current through to switch on a circuit that will hve a larger current flowing through it.
Why use diode in a circuit?
They only allow current to flow in one direction.
What is the purpose of the metal tracks on a printed circuit board?
To conduct electricity and allow the flow of current to the components on the circuit board.
What effect would thinner wire have in a circuit?
The smaller the wire size used in a circuit limits the amount of current that is allow to be flow through that circuit.
What is a circuit which will allow flowing current?
As long as an electrical power source is connected to itself with electrical conductors of some kind, then a current will flow through it. How much current will depend on the components used in the circuit.
Why neutral point is grounded in transformers?
To limit the short circuit of current and allow the heavy current to drain through NGR
Materials that allow the charges of an current to move freely through them are called?
conductors
How does the current change in a circuit when the ammeter is placed in different spots?
the current value at any part of the circuit is dependent upon the circuit conditions and not the ammeter. The meter will simply allow you to read those currents, whatever they may be.
