Eureka wire, which is a nickel copper alloy, has a higher resistance than copper wire and is used as a heating element for specialized purposes. These hot cutting wires have high strength at elevated temperatures and are used for cutting foam polystyrene (EPS) and or heat sealing woven polypropylene bags.

This alloy also has another important feature. Its resistance to electricity remains the same over a wide range of temperatures. For more information please see the wikipedia article about constantan.

Why would copper wire be unsuitable for use of flame tests?
Copper wire would not be suitable for use in fame tests due to the fact it would cause the flame to change colour (usually to green). The experimenter wants to observe the colour change produced by the sample, not the wire.
Why is copper commonly use to make electric wires?
Copper is used to make electrical wire because it is ductile and is very conductive. The ease with which copper can be worked and drawn ("pulled" or "stretched") into wire (because of its ductility) makes it a great mechanical choice for wire. And copper is highly conductive, that is, it has a low resistance to electric current flow. These two properties make copper an excellent choice to make electrical wire.
What would reduce resistance in a copper wire?
Reduce the resistance:-- Use a shorter piece of wire.-- Use thicker wire.-- Cool the wire.Increase the resistance:-- Use a longer piece of wire.-- Use thinner wire.-- File a nick in the piece of wire you have.-- Stretch the wire.-- Heat the wire.
If you needed to use powdered copper (II) sulfate in an experiment and were only supplied with clumps of copper (II) sulfate, which tool would you need to convert the copper sulfate to usable form?
Mortar and pestle
What two ways can speed up the rate of dissolving copper sulphate in water?
1. Increase the temperature of the water. 2. Use copper sulphate in the finely powered form instead of copper sulphate crystals (if hydrated). 3. Stir.
Can you use copper wire instead of eureka wire in finding its resistivity?
no
What is the use of eureka wire?
Eureka wire consists of Nickel 45% and Copper 55% . its operating temp. is 400 degreeC while melting point is 1270 degreeC.
Can you splice solid copper wire to stranded copper wire?
Yes as long as you use an approved splice, such as a wire-nut.
Can you recycle copper wire?
Yes! It's a metal, so it can be forged into something new. Of course. Copper wire contains copper. You can use a copper wire stripper to remove the insulation and you get copper core or a copper wire gramulator to make them into small copper granules after grinding and separating the insulation.
How many gauge is required of copper wire in multiple generator science project?
34 gauge copper wire will work but to use the 35 gauge copper wire is the best choice
What metal are use to make electric wire and why?
copper plated aluminum wire
Do you use copper wire in the production of blue cheese?
Yes, Danish Blue and Stilton use or have used copper wire to create the blue veins in the cheese.
What wire does tom hill the wire sculpture use?
he uses mid steel wire and various gauges and brass sheets and copper sheets and copper meshes.
Why do you use copper wire to connect all your components?
Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity.
Whats the use of copper?
It can be used for pennies, copper wire and many other uses
What copper used in rewinding transformers?
It is recommended to use enamelled copper wire min. 99,9 %.
What is use 2 in copper wire?
Use 2 in copper wire refers to the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard for copper wire used in electrical applications. AWG 2 copper wire has a diameter of 0.2576 inches and is commonly used for high current applications such as industrial machinery or power distribution systems. It can carry a maximum current of approximately 190 amps.
