Ignition wires for engines in cars and other vehicles are often made from carbon because of its excellent performance in hot conditions but, for most other general electrical wiring purposes, copper is commonly used.
Silver and gold are better conductors of electricity than carbon or copper but they are much more expensive metals so they are only used for specialized applications. For example very thin wires made of gold alloys are used for integrated circuits and silver alloys are used for some switch contacts.

What are connecting wires?
Connecting wires in electrical terms is called an electrical splice. All electrical splices have to be made in a junction box.
Why wires are made of cooper?
Electrical wires are made from copper, as copper is a good conductor of electricity.
Which groups of elements would most likely be used for electrical wires?
Electrical wires are usually made from metals.
Is graphite magnetic?
Graphite is not magnetic as it is made out of carbon. E.g; Pencil lead is mostly made out of graphite, it is NOT magnetic.
Do electrical wires affect the voltage?
electrical wires are selected to satisfy with the desired conditions and supply.
Does graphite made into wires?
Ans:- No, Graphite is not mad of Wire.
Why is graphite not used for electrical wires?
No, cables can't be drawn out of graphite. As wires can be drawn out of ductile substances like metals As graphite is highty brittle in nature. and non- ductile substance can't be drawn into the cables. thanks you have nice day

Electrical wires are made from copper, as copper is a good conductor of electricity.
Is Graphite an conductor?
Yes, graphite is an electrical conductor.
What common elements are electrical wires composed out of?
The two most comon metals that electrical wires are made from are aluminum and copper.
Is a non metallic conductor?
Water Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.
Is graphite a electical conductor?
Yes, graphite is an electrical conductor.
Is graphite an electric conductor?
Yes, graphite is an electrical conductor.
Why are electrical wires made up of copper?
Most electrical wires are made up of copper instead of any other metal. The reason for this is that copper is such an excellent conductor of electricity and it is relatively inexpensive.
