The most commonly used element other than copper used for electrical wire is aluminum: It is not quite as good a conductor of electricity per unit volume as copper, but is much less dense, so that it is a better of conductor per unit mass density, an advantage in some uses. If high electrical conductivity* is not needed, iron or its alloy steel is most commonly used because is cheap and has good mechanical properties.

This does not mean that iron and steel are nonconductors!
What else can I help you with?
Is copper wire a element.?
Copper is an element
What are the elements in a copper wire?
The primary element in a copper wire is copper itself, which can range from 99.9% to 99.999% pure. Copper wires are often also alloyed with other elements such as tin or silver to improve their properties like strength and conductivity. Insulation materials like PVC or nylon are also used around the copper wire to protect and insulate it.
Is copper wire an element or compound?
copper is an element. but copper wire is a processed element.
Is copper wiring a mixture compound or element?
Copper is on the Periodic Table, anything on the periodic table is an element so copper wire is made from an element.
Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?
No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.
What is copper wire a compound or an element?
Copper wire is made of the element copper. Copper is a pure substance, not a compound, because it is made up of only one type of atom.
What does a copper element get used for?
Copper element is used in large amounts by the electrical industry in the form of wire, copper is second only to silver in electrical conductance. Since it resists corrosion from the air, moisture and seawater, copper has been widely used in coins.
Is copper wire a pure substance heterogeneous mixture or homogeneous?
copper is an ELEMENT therefore it is not a heterogeneous OR homogeneous mixture.
Can you replace Ni-chrome wire with silver or copper wire?
No. Ni-Chrome wire is resistance wire used in pottery and as a heating element for pyrotechnics. There is no application for Home Theater for this wire.
What are some good uses for the element copper?
Copper Wire, Copper Water Pipes, Pennies,
What element was found in wire?
copper, aluminum, and steel
Is copper wire a elemend or mixture?
It's an element.
