Same as for any other substance:

Apply a voltage and measure the current flow.

(Resistance equals voltage divided by the current flow.)

Transformer with aluminium coils or cooper?

Copper is typically preferred over aluminium for transformer coils due to its higher electrical conductivity and better heat resistance, leading to improved efficiency and reliability. While aluminium is cheaper and lighter than copper, it has higher resistance and can result in higher losses and lower efficiency in transformers.


What metallic element is used to make electrical wire and pots?

Copper is commonly used to make electrical wires due to its excellent conductivity. Aluminium is often used for making pots and pans because of its lightweight properties and resistance to corrosion.


Why copper is used more than aluminum in day today life?

Copper is a metal that conducts electricity and is used in a majority of electrical appliances from toasters to mobile phones so in every day life copper is regularly used. Aluminium is only really used in day to day life in aluminium foil as its uses otherwise come from it being a light metal which is why it's used in aeroplanes. When copper was very high in price aluminium was used for electrical cables, but there are two problems - copper is a much better conductor of electricity, and aluminium has an oxide layer on the surface which makes it difficult to get good electrical contact. Copper is also used for water pipes as it is easy to solder and generally has better corrosion resistance.


Why are copper wires used in as connecting wires?

The copper wires used connect. Because conductivity of Cooper higher than aluminium but price of Cooper higher than aluminum. If compare between copper and aluminium cable can see at the same current rate diameter of aluminium cable is larger than copper cable.


Do aluminium and iron both conduct electricity?

Aluminium is a good thermal and electrical conductor, having 62% the conductivity of copper...


How do you calculate copper wire resistance?

if we know resistivity of copper i.e is very small (1.68×10−8)transposing the definition to make resistance the subject (Pouillet's law):R is the electrical resistance of a uniform specimen of the material (measured in ohms, Ω) is the length of the piece of material (measured in metres, m)A is the cross-sectional area of the specimen (measured in square metres, m²).


What metals are good conductors of electric current?

copper and aluminium are the most common, but aluminium isn't as good as copper because it puts to much resistance on the electricity causing it to heat up.


Is copper low or high resistance?

Copper is known for its low electrical resistance, making it a highly conductive material. This property of copper makes it ideal for use in electrical wiring and other applications where efficient electrical conductivity is required.


Which material has a greater resistance aluminum or copper wire?

Copper wire has greater resistance than aluminum wire. This is because copper is a better conductor of electricity than aluminum. This means that copper wire will have less resistance and will be able to carry more current with less energy loss.


What is metal usually used for?

Copper is frequently used for electrical wires. Aluminium is cheaper but breakable.


How many nano ohms transferred per meter in copper?

Gold has an electrical resistance of 22.14 nano ohms per meter (nΩ·m), while copper has an electrical resistance of 17.2 nΩ/m and silver has an electrical resistance of 15.87 nΩ/m.


When one terminal of the cell is joined by copper wire to the one terminal of bulband another terminal of cell with aluminium wire to the other terminal of bulb. Will the bulb glow Give reason for yo?

Both copper and aluminium wire will conduct electricity, so the bulb will glow. Aluminium is less efficient at conducting than copper. Copper-clad aluminium wire is electrical wire coated with a thin layer of copper.
