You can't prescribe a "General" use for these Metals. They have too many uses. For example:
Copper...Wire, Pennies, Roofing, Art Works...
Aluminum....Wire (in the past), Structural Materials, Foil, Airplane Components....

Which is the best conductor among these gold silver copper or aluminum?
Silver is, then copper, then gold, and then aluminum. Copper is used for wiring because it is cheaper than silver. Aluminum is not used very much anymore because it can be dangerous when installed improperly.
Is gold a good thermal conductor?
Yes, it is. It is better than aluminum, but not as good as copper. Aluminum is often used in heat sinks, though, because it is cheaper than gold or copper.
What metal is used for airoplanes?
Mainly aluminum because of its light weight. Other metals (steel and copper predominantly) as needed.
Why do copper or aluminum wires generally used for electrical transmission and distribution purposes?
Both metals have a low resistance to conductivity. They are extremely flexible and do not degrade under electrical transmission as do other metals. They are less expensive than the best conductors, silver and gold.

Why don't we construct electronic device with conductor?
But we do, we do. Copper, Aluminum and other metals are used in many components because they ARE conductors. For example Copper is used in inductors & transformers; Aluminum is used as the plates of most capacitors.
Why are aluminium and copper used for making electric wires?
Copper and aluminum are good conductors. Other conductors like silver aren't used to make electric wires because copper and aluminum are cheaper but have the same properties.
What is it called when both aluminum and copper can be used for making wire?
an alloy
What are the material used for making bus bar?
