Yes. On a scale of 0 to 100, where annealed copper is 100, aluminum rates a 59, and brass averages 28. I say averages because there are actually quite a few different alloys of brass, but all of them are poorer conductors than aluminum.

No, copper has better electrical conductivity than brass. The Zinc content in brass helps to improve corrosion resistance but lowers the electrical conductivity.

Copper is a much better conductor than brass. Copper is a pure element. Brass is an alloy. Alloys are almost always poor conductors. There is an exception when it comes to superconductors.

How effective is brass a conductor of electricity?

It isn't. In terms of volume, silver is best, followed by copper, then aluminum. Aluminum is 2X better conductivity by weight than anything else. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and their proportions can be varied to create different brasses. So if you wanted to make brass highly electrically conductive, you would add a lot of copper and silver to it. There is a common brass known as "electrical brass" that is commonly used for electrical conductor parts, and it's chief virtues are that it can be worked easily and is not expensive.

A copper wire is a much better conductor of heat than air is.


Why are the pins on a plug made of brass not copper?

because brass is generally tarnish resisant so it does not discolours easily and also because brass is not such expensive as copper <<>> The pins are make of brass because it is a harder metal than copper and will wear better through use over its lifetime.

it is a conductor but its electrical conductivity is only 28%as conducive as copper.


Is copper or silver a better conductor of electricity?

Silver is a better conductor than copper, but copper is more commonly used because it is cheaper and isn't as easily tarnished.
