What is a conductor in the scientific way?
A conductor is something that can carry the electrons (electricity) through it. An example is copper. That is why copper is used for wiring. it is a good conductor.
Which is the best conductor among these gold silver copper or aluminum?
Silver is, then copper, then gold, and then aluminum. Copper is used for wiring because it is cheaper than silver. Aluminum is not used very much anymore because it can be dangerous when installed improperly.
What are two physical uses of gold?
To wear it and I think it's used I'n wiring because it's a really good conductor
What materials are made from good conductors?
Most familiar conductors are metallic. Copper is the most common material used for electrical wiring. Silver is the best conductor, but is expensive. Gold is used for high-quality surface-to-surface contacts. Aluminium too is a good conductor.
What is the best and cheap conductor for electric?
copper,a reddish-orange metal,is the best low-cost electrical conductor available
Why is silver not used in household wiring?
The cost factor. Other than that it is an excellent conductor.
What matrial is a good electrical conductor?
Silver is the best electrical conductor. Copper is second. Gold is third. Aluminum is a good conductor but not for house wiring. It is used for high tension wires.
What do the different colors on household electical wiring signify?
In the United States, household electrical wiring typically uses one black and one red conductor to distinguish the ungrounded or hot conductors. This serves no purpose other than to be able to identify one wire from the other at each end. In any singe phase system, such as a home, on a 220v circuit, it matters not what position each conductor is terminated. On branch circuits, black is generally used on all 110v circuits, and a combination of black and red are used on all 220v circuits. White is used to identify the grounded or neutral conductor. And the green or bare conductor is used for the equipment grounding conductor, commonly called "the ground."
Is copper an insulator or a conductor?
It is a very good conductor. It is used in wiring to deliver electricity.
What wiring is used in household alarms?
If you don't have a knowledge for wiring the house with security alarm systems ,you can go online and download free manual to fit the alarm system... Else you also got a manual with system and wire it accordingly.
Which resource I used in electric wiring?
For wiring, we only use copper and silver. The most common conductor is copper. Almost all wires use copper as a conductor.
What is the most commonly used conductor material for residential wiring?
Copper
Why is copper used in house wiring but tungsten is not?
copper is a good conductor
What is a conductor in the scientific way?
A conductor is something that can carry the electrons (electricity) through it. An example is copper. That is why copper is used for wiring. it is a good conductor.
A reddish-orange element used for electrical wiring?
Copper is a reddish brown element used for electrical wiring as it is a good conductor of electricity.
What are differences between copper conductor and aluminium conductor?
Aluminum is worse conductor than copper by volume, though it's considerably lighter. It was used years ago for wiring houses, mostly because it was much cheaper by then. It physical properities however(thermal expansion, galvanic corrosion), make it a poor choice for household wiring.
What best describes the function of a simple diode?
Diodes are used for a number of different purposes. Its most common function, however, is to act as a semi-conductor in a variety of commonly used household appliances.
