Because it has good conductivity, was cheap and easy to use.
Because out of all the metals copper is the best conductor, apart from silver which is slightly better as a conductor but too expensive to use.
In most cases, copper is the metal used in wire.
Heavy copper wire is used for heavy current loads.
yes
To refine copper wire scrap, you need professional tools and equipment such as copper stripper which is used for removing insulation from copper wire.
ETP is 99.5%+ pure copper that is very low in oxygen content it is the most common wire used for transformers Silver content in the wire is consider copper for purity analysis
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.
Copper bare wire refers to uninsulated copper wire that has not been processed, while copper millberry wire is clean, untinned, uncoated, and unalloyed copper wire that is at least 99.9% pure. Millberry wire is typically used for high-quality applications like electrical wiring due to its purity and consistency, while bare copper wire is more commonly used for grounding applications.
Usually copper.
Copper is used in electical equipment and wire as it is a good and cheap conductor
No. Copper is not nonconducting. Copper is actually a very good conductor used in many electronic devices and household appliances. In fact, most cords have copper wire under all that rubber.
Copper. The wire is made of elemntal copper not a chemical compound. (Note the copper used may sometimes be alloyed with another metal or occasionally be a solid solution of small amounts of oxide in the pure metal. This improves the durability and handling characteristics of the wire.)
Yes, microorganisms are used in a process called bioleaching to extract copper from ores. These microorganisms help break down the ores and release copper ions, which can then be processed into copper wire.
