∙ 14y agoAluminium conducts electricity fairly well. It's used in long-distance high-tension electrical wires, for example, since for a given current-carrying capacity it's both cheaper and physically stronger than copper.

Does aluminum or copper produce more electricity?
Copper is more electrically conductive than aluminum (this is because aluminum forms a monomolecular layer of non-conductive aluminum oxide on its surface).
A material that transmits electricity is called what?
electrically conductive material
Why does aluminum oxide not conduct electricity as a solid?
Sodium Iodide is held together by covelent bonds, therefore no "free" electrons exist which is what makes metals conductive. - Bird.
Why does a battery get hot when aluminum foil is touching both sides?
Batteries give of electricity, aluminum conducts electricity, electricity can have high temperatures.
What is a material's ability to conduct electricity?
Electrical Conductivity. If a material is able to conduct, or transfer electricity, it is considered electrically conductive.
Does aluminum or copper produce more electricity?
Copper is more electrically conductive than aluminum (this is because aluminum forms a monomolecular layer of non-conductive aluminum oxide on its surface).
Does aluminium solution conduct electricity?
Aluminum (metal) is insoluble. In metallic form it Al is rather conductive.
Why will aluminum foil conduct electricity?
Since aluminum foil is made of aluminum, which is a metal, its structure contains metallic bonds. These bonds involve a sea of free electrons floating around the entire structure. Therefore, charge could be easily transferred due to these disassociated electrons. Aluminium conducts electricity very well.
Can you use an aluminium wire instead of copper for a simple electrical circuit?
Yes, you can use an aluminum wire. Aluminum does conduct electricity. However, there is a well-known problem with aluminum wire. When exposed to air, the outer layer of aluminum forms a non-conductive oxide. There is resistance to the flow of electricity as it attempts to get through the aluminum oxide coating to the conductive aluminum below. When aluminum wire is used to reduce weight, it is usually welded to another metal that makes a better contact, such as copper. The contact metal is then what is connected.
Does electricity flow through steel?
Yes steel is conductive, any ferris metal is a conductor and electricity can pass through it. however, it will not conduct as well as aluminum or copper.
Is aluminum electrically conductive?
Yes...all metals are will conduct electricity.
What is the difference between conductive and non-conductive?
Conductive materials: they are good conductors of heat or electricity. Nonconductive materials: they are not good conductors of heat or electricity.
Is aluminum electrical?
Electrically conductive - yes
How effective is plastic as a good conductor of electricity?
Unless treated with conductive materials (e.g. vapor deposited aluminum, pink antistatic coating) most plastics are insulators.
Is magnesium conductive to electricity?
yes
This footwear may be designed to be electricity conductive or non-conductive?
Foot and skin guards
Is wood conductive?
No wood does not conduct electricity very well.
