How can you tell the difference between a bar of iron a bar of copper and a magnet?

You can differentiate between a bar of iron and a bar of copper by testing their magnetic properties - iron is attracted to magnets, while copper is not. A bar magnet will attract small iron objects, while a bar of copper will not be attracted.


What is the percentage of copper in fuse wires?

The percentage of copper in a fuse wire is very small or non existent. Fuse wire is made from mixing different types of alloys together of aluminum, nickel, iron and chromium. The alloys result in compounds called cronifer and aluchrom. The composition of the different fuse wires results in how the characteristics of the fuse fault current is handled.

Why iron is not a good conductor of heat if it compair to copper?

Copper has relatively easily available electron as compare to the iron because copper has bigger atomic size than iron which means the shielding effect in copper is more than iron so the electron of copper can conduct heat more easily and efficiently as compare to the electron of the iron which make iron not a good conductor of heat if it is compair to copper.


Can you connect copper wires to tin coated copper wires?

Yes, you can connect copper wires to tin coated copper wires using a soldering iron and solder. The tin coating can be heated and merged with the copper wire to create a strong electrical connection. Heat the wires together and apply solder until it melts and flows over the connection point, forming a bond.


How well does iron conduct electricity?

Yes. Iron can conduct electricity. It is not as good a conductor of electricity as copper but it can conduct electricity. If you see a train or high speed rail with two wires hanging over the track, the top wire is a copper wire and the bottom wire is an iron wire. The copper wire conducts the electricity with very little loss of electricity. The iron wire is able to pass the electricity on to the train while withstanding a lot of wear and tear.
