Why can transition metals be used to make electrical wires?
Their high conductivity is why transition metals are used to make electrical wires.
Are metals poor conductors of electricity?
No, metals are good conductors of electricity due to the presence of free-flowing electrons in their atomic structure. These electrons are able to carry electrical charge through the metal efficiently.
What is copper used for as an electrical conductor?
Wires.
Is silver commonly used for making wires?
No, copper is commonly used to make wire.
Which type of wires used in electrical works?
Electrical wire is the type of wire that is used in electrical equipment. To strip the wires, you need to use wire strippers. There is also special tape called electrical tape that is used to secure the wire.
What is electrical raceways?
an exposed conduit used for carrying electrical wires/cables
Why can't sodium be used in electric wires?
It can be used in electrical wires. Actually, in the future a lot of electrical wire may be made mostly of sodium. Google "lightweight composite electrical wire".
Can iron be in a wire?
Yes, iron could be made into a wire. However, because of its susceptibility to oxidation and lower conductivity than copper, this metal is not commonly used for electrical wires.
What can pure copper be used for?
Pure copper is used for electrical wiring. Pure copper conducts electricity better than impure copper.
What is a connector strips?
Connector strips are tools used in electrical wiring to connect multiple wires together in a secure and reliable manner. They typically consist of a row of metal terminals where wires can be inserted and secured using screws or other mechanisms. Connector strips are commonly used in junction boxes or control panels to organize and simplify electrical connections.
Element used to make jewelry wires electrical contacts?
cheese
Why silver is not used in electrical wires?
Because it is costly
