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
Are copper wires and not steel wires used in electric circuits although both copper and steel are electrical conductors?
Steel is not used as an electrical conductor because, although it is a conductor, it's not a very good conductor -as is copper and aluminium, for example. A steel-wire core is used, however, to reinforce aluminium conductors on transmission tower lines
What is the metal used for electric wire?
Copper and aluminum used for electric wires
What is a wire used for in electric?

How has copper been used?
Copper has been used lately in wires and cables like coaxial and electric wires.
Why are copper wires used instead of steel wires?
I think copper is cheaper.
What type of bindinwire is used for binding of steel?
The most highly recommended type of binding wire used to bind steel is stainless steel binding wire. Annealed steel wires and galvanized steel wire can be used as well.
What normal household objects are 2 2.5 and 3 millimeters in diameter?
The cores of electric wires and cables.The cores of electric wires and cables.The cores of electric wires and cables.The cores of electric wires and cables.
What are steel wires made out of?
Steel.
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.
What is SWA when used to describle an electric cable?
Steel Wire Armored.
What has the most common element used in wires?
Copper is used in electric wires because it is the best conductor of electricity that is known, apart from silver which is slightly better. For overhead wires a common material to use is aluminum because it is much lighter, although not such a good conductor. Overhead high-voltage wires usually use aluminium stranded wire with one or more steel strands in the centre to give strength.
