Why in high voltage electricity cables the current is carried by aluminum but the cable has a core of steel?

The reason for this is that aluminum has much higher electric conductivity than steel, but otherwise its mechanical properties are much worse. Steel core actually carries a cable.

Is voltage a flow of electricity?
no...current is a flow of electricity
Is high-voltage syndrome an example of static or current electricity?
it is an example of current electricity
Does alluminium conduct electricity?
Yes. A typical high voltage conductor is type ACSR - aluminum conductor, steel reinforced. aluminum conductor is wrapped around a central steel cable that gives it strength, the aluminum carries the current.

either voltage or current. depends what you after. otherwise its voltage
What are the four traits of electricity?
Current, power, voltage and resistance are the four traits of electricity.
Why is electricity related to voltage?
Because voltage is the power that makes electricity to circulate in a wire. Depending on the diameter, the lenght and material of the conductor (wire) the current, (the amount of electrons) flowing in the wire, the resistance will be lower or higher. Conclusively, the voltage is not the electricity itself, but it is like a pump that impulses the water through a pipe. Electricity is the current whose unit of measurement is the Ampere. So you have the voltage, resistance, and current in a electrical circuit on a direct current system.
What are the 3 basic elements of electricity?
voltage current resistance
What are the factors of electricity?
The factors of electricity are the voltage between two points and the amount of current experienced.
