Can you change from aluminum wire to copper wire in a new oven?
Copper is preferable to aluminum and the size of wire should be the same or the next size down if copper is used.
Can you splice solid copper wire to stranded copper wire?
Yes as long as you use an approved splice, such as a wire-nut.
Do magnets repel or attract copper wire?
depends on the content of the copper wire, if its 100% usually it will
Can Recycled copper used for copper wire?
yes
What is copper wire wirth worth for recycle?
Copper is very valuable conductor. It is a non-renewable resource with limited storage on the earth. Copper can be recycled from copper wire. You can also earn a small sum from it.
Can copper wire take shape of its container?
No. If you leave some copper wire in a square box it will never come out in a square shape.
Are wires non biodegradable waste?
Yes, both the copper (or other) wire and the plastic insulation will take hundreds of years to degrade. Wire should be recycled if your local recycler will take it.
What are the elements in a copper wire?
If the copper wire really is pure copper then the only element in the copper wire is copper (Cu).
Is the wire coil in a transformer made of an alloy?
Most transformers have coils made of pure copper. This copper is really pure, and it is not an alloy.Certainly we know of situations where other materials are used to wind the cores of transformers. In superconcuctive matnets, the coils are alloys or composite materials that have specific superconductive properties. And don't forget the coils in the calutrons used at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to enhance uranium diring World War 2. They were made of silver that was borrowed by the ton from reserves at Fort Knox!By and large, most transformers we encounter will be wound with pure copper wire. It might be worth noting that recycled copper is not generally used to make copper wire as it is not pure enough. Virgin copper is generally the best choice for electrical wire, and recycled copper works very well for copper pipes and copper tubing.
