What else can I help you with?
What are the mixtures in fuse wire?
tin lead alloybasically tin lead allows are used . but other metals which have low melting point and appropriate resistivity can be used
Why do we usually choose copper for wire and not other metals?
Copper is more stronger against other metals.
Why is copper mainly used in wire?
All kinds of other things use copper as well. But it's used for wire because of its high conductivity, the highest of all metals except silver.
Is a copper wire the same as a zinc wire?
No, a copper wire is not the same as a zinc wire. They are made of different materials, with copper being a good conductor of electricity and zinc often being used for galvanization or as a sacrificial coating to protect other metals from corrosion.
What property is described when metals are used as wire to carry electricity?
Conductivity
Which metal used in fuse wires?
Apparently mainly tinned copper is used in fuse wires. I have heard that there are a lot of other metals used as teh fuse wire though!
Can metals be strenched out into a thin wire?
Yes, which is why we get wire of various gauges and tensile strength. The copper wire used in electricity is one example.
Why silver metals are not used for wire making?
My guess is that copper is cheaper and more abundant.
What metals can be used as wire because they are?
Metals can be used as wire because they have the ability to conduct electricity, or allow for the movement of electrons from one atom to the next. While some metals are magnetic (have the ability to "stick" to a magnet) and some are not--magnetism is not the variable that dictates whether or not a metal is a good conductor of electricity.
Is wire a natural resource?
Yes, wire is typically made from natural resources such as metals like copper or aluminum that are extracted from the earth. These metals are refined and processed to create wires that are used in various applications.
Why are metals useful for making electric wire?
Any conductor can be used but the relative high conductivity of most metals make them prime candidates.
What property of metal is used to make barbed wire fence?
I suppose that you think to the ductility of metals.
