Is the silver speaker wire copper?
Yes; it is tinned copper.
What type of mixture is copper wire in silver nitrate?
When you place copper wire in a silver nitrate solution, your result should be a heterogeneous mixture.
If silver is a better conductor than copper then why is copper wire used in daily life instead of silver wire?
The price of copper today is $3.43 a pound. The price of silver today is $12.90 an ounce. Copper is much cheaper.
What is the wire that heats up an electric heater made out of?
copper?
What kind of reaction takes place when a copper wire is added to a beaker of silver nitrate?
The copper and silver will combust.
Is silver wire a better conductor?
The best conductor of electricity is copper wire. Silver is a better conductor than copper, look up basic data. But silver is not practicable for widespread use, copper is nearly as good and more practicable for engineering use as well as cost.
Is the gold or copper wire or the silver wire positive?
It doesn't really matter, as long as you connect them to the same polarity at both ends. Most people use the gold or reddish-copper wire as the positive, as it is the red terminal and the silver, or non-colored lead to the negative as it is black.
How do you connect a electrical outlet at home?
Black wire to copper screw, white wire to silver screw, bare copper ground wire to green ground screw.
You have copper and silver speaker wire and the silver has writing on it Which one is positive?
It is traditional to use the copper colored wire as the positive. Of course, the electrons don't care what color the wire is as long as you hook it up the same at both ends!
Which conducts elctricity more efficiently copper wire or aluminum?
Copper is a better conductor than aluminum. Silver is even better. I think that at room temperature, gold is best, but superconductors at their critical temperatures are best.
What is the wire made for in a circuit?
Usually copper, sometimes gold or silver.
What kind of reaction takes place when a copper wire is added is to a beaker of silver nitrate?
A displacement reaction, in which the copper dissolves to form copper nitrate and replaces silver ions in the original silver nitrate, reducing the silver ions to metallic silver.
