What are 3 things sodium is used for?
Fertilizers, wires and sometimes lighting.
Can calcium be used in electric wires?
No, it is not ductile enough for use in wires and reacts rapidly with air and moisture, which would quickly ruin any product made of calcium.
Why are copper wires and not steel wires used in electric circuits although both are copper and steel are electoral conductors?
copper is cheaper to manufacture and easier to bend then steel
Why cant carbon be used to extract sodium from its ore?
because sodium is more reactive than carbon and therefore a displacement reaction cannot take place- which would normally separate sodium from its ore.
What metal is usually used for wires in electric circuit?
Generally copper, because it is cheap and also conducts electricity.
What is the metal used for electric wire?
Copper and aluminum used for electric wires
What is a wire used for in electric?
Wires are used as electricity conductors.
How has copper been used?
Copper has been used lately in wires and cables like coaxial and electric wires.
What are 3 things sodium is used for?
Fertilizers, wires and sometimes lighting.
What kind and type wire can be used to wire an electric cook stove?
The wires must first be heat resistant. For that the best wires that can be used are wires made up of superconductors.
How can wires and magnets be used to produce an electric current?
i know how but i just forget
What element is used in the lighting of street lamps?
Sodium-vapour lamp, electric discharge lamp using ionized sodium,
Why is silver not used for making wires?
Even though silver is the best conductor of electricity, it is extremely expensive. Thus silver is not used to make electical wires. Silver is also very soft to be used as electric wires.
What are coppers usses?
Copper is used in wires and water pipes. The properties that make copper suitable for electric wires are:-1. Ductile2. high melting points3. good conductor.The copper used in electric wires has to be purified up to 99.99%, because impurities decreases its rate of conductivity.
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.
Which metal is used in electric wires commonly at home and why?
Copper Metal is used because it is good conductor of electricity
What is insulation used for?
they are useful to protect us from electric shocks.
