What do electrical wires have in them....?
Copper, although it is not 100 % pure, it is still copper. for larger cables you can still get aluminum, but it is much more brittle and you can only work with it so much till it becomes weak. They also used a lot of aluminum in huses for a short period of time, but now they are back to copper.
Why are electrical wires not strung tightly?
The utility wires are tightened to the point that they allow for thermal expansion / contraction, and still say within the ability of the wire to carry a tensile load. Were the wires made "perfectly straight", there is no real material that could take the load, any real material would start sagging again as the temperature increased, and would break as the temperature dropped. Additionally, the supporting "poles" depend on the the two departing wires to cancel out in tension. Should one of them break, the supporting pole would have to be much more massive than it currently is to keep from breaking too.
What has the most common element used in wires?
Copper is used in electric wires because it is the best conductor of electricity that is known, apart from silver which is slightly better. For overhead wires a common material to use is aluminum because it is much lighter, although not such a good conductor. Overhead high-voltage wires usually use aluminium stranded wire with one or more steel strands in the centre to give strength.
When electricity flows wires into our home?
Electricity does not flow wires into your home, wires direct the flow of current into your home.

Dont touch it
How much copper is in copper wires?
Usually above 99%.
Why saline water is not used in wires instead of copper wires?
Copper stays where you put it much better than saline water does.
Why is silver not used for electrical wires if it is such a good conductor of electricity?
Silver is not used for electrical wires mainly for two reasons. Silver is too expensive to use and it is a soft metal which is not suitable for electrical wires.
What are environmental disadvantages of telephone wires?
Other than the pollution that comes from making wires, insulation, metal for transformers, and logs for poles, not much.
Are there spark plug wires?
Yes because it is electrcal ( I love pie) Bluebery, peach and much much more
Putting in a new kenwood system in 05f150like to know if you should run new wires from amp or use exsiting wires IF you need to run new what gaugeand what gauge are the wires from factory system?
use the existing wires you only need to change the gauge of the wires if amp is 500+ watts if less watts there not much difference in sound quality
Why is your 1997 Chevy s10 arching up the tube on the coil back to the metal on the coil?
To much resistance in the spark plug wires, replace the spark plug wires.
