Yes, IF the rules of proper splicing are followed, dissimilar metals can be successfully spliced.
Some of those rules that I can recall at the moment include:
- The part of the wires to be connected by splicing MUST be clean and free of any grease, dirt, corrosion, or deleterious material.
- A "sound" mechanical connection MUST be made. That means either the wires properly twisted together, OR a mechanical device [connector, wire nut, or some type of terminal used].
- If a twisted mechanical splice is used, then the splice joint should be soldered to both "lock" the twisted splice, and to prevent the atmosphere from getting into the wire interface, causing corrosion which will degrade the current carrying ability of the splice joint.
What else can I help you with?
Is the silver speaker wire copper?
Yes; it is tinned copper.
What is the color of speaker cable?
Speaker cable can have an insulator that could be any color. The wire inside is typically silver, copper or gold colored.
You have copper and silver speaker wire and the silver has writing on it Which one is positive?
The copper wire is typically positive. However, the best way to determine which is positive and negative is by referring to the user manual or guide that came with the speakers. The writing on the silver wire is likely there to indicate which wire is positive.
If speaker wire is silver and copper which one is positive?
Whichever one you connect to the positive terminal. The colors are there so you can find the same wire at the other end.
What type of mixture is copper wire in silver nitrate?
The copper wire in silver nitrate forms a heterogeneous mixture. In this case, the copper wire does not dissolve in the silver nitrate, so they physically remain as separate substances within the 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.
Why is silver produced when a copper wire and silver nitrate a put together?
When a copper wire is placed in a silver nitrate solution, a redox reaction occurs. Copper atoms from the wire lose electrons to form copper ions in the solution, while silver ions gain electrons to form solid silver. This leads to the deposition of silver metal on the surface of the copper wire.
How can I fix my Audio Cables on my headphones?
My PC speaker cables have a copper wire, as well as a insulated (white) copper wire. The headphones (Sony) appear to have 3 wires in them - green, red, and orange. The links you posted are more for car/home theater speaker wire.
How do you fix a broken wire for a speaker?
Couple options. Strip off a half inch of insulation of the wire were the wire is separated. The splice the wires together. Apply electrical tape to the area that the wires were spliced. Or, replace the whole wire. I recommend replacement.
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.
What is the wire made for in a circuit?
Usually copper, sometimes gold or silver.
