Why are the wires in electric circuits often made of copper?
Because copper is one of the best conductors of electricity and it has a high melting point so it won't melt with the heat from the flow of electricity when used for normal amounts of current, it is also malable meaning it can be changed easily into wires or other objects. As a metal it's expensive compared to some other metals such as iron (which is not such a good conductor as copper), but it's not as expensive as silver or gold (which are better conductors than copper), so copper doesn't cost a lot to manufacture into wires.(but most of wires are metal )
Which is heavier by volume silver or copper?
Gold has a specific gravity of 19.29, silver has a specific gravity of 10.46. Gold is heavier.
What is the industrial name for gold mixed with copper?
The industrial name for a gold-copper alloy is Rose Goldor Tumbaga.If you also add silver to the alloy you get Electrum.
Are Copper Gold Iron Nickel and Silver magnetic?
Copper and silver are not magnetic, while gold is only slightly magnetic. Iron, nickel, and some of their alloys are magnetic due to their atomic arrangement.
What is copper's family name and family members?
Group 14 in the periodic table of Mendeleev: copper, gold, silver.
What is the substance that could be pulled or drawn into wire?
A substance that can be pulled or drawn into wire is called ductile. Metals such as gold, silver, and copper are known for their ductility, which allows them to be stretched into thin wires without breaking.
What elements can be drawn into thin wires?
The facility to be pulled into wires is called ductility, several elements have this. These are ductile metals or alloys: platinum, silver, gold, aluminium, copper, nodular cat iron, rhodium etc.
Out of silver copper and gold which is the best for electrical wires?
Copper is the best material for electrical wires due to its high electrical conductivity and low resistance, which allows for efficient transmission of electricity. Silver is slightly more conductive than copper but is much more expensive, while gold, while highly conductive, is even more expensive and less practical for everyday use.
What are two metals that are drawn into wires?
yes this is because one specific property of most metals is ductility which is the property of being able to be drawn into wires. This property can be attributed to metals mobile electron structure.
What is a material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires?
Gold is the material that conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. This is unlike the other materials like aluminum, copper and steel.
Which of these metals, such as copper, silver, and gold, has the highest conductivity?
Out of copper, silver, and gold, silver has the highest conductivity.
What metals are not silver gray in color?
Some metals that are not silver gray in color include gold (yellow), copper (orange-red), brass (yellow-brown), and bronze (reddish-brown).
Gold silver and what?
Copper
What is the silver value of a 1923 gold coin?
Not a meaningful question. Gold coins were made from gold and copper without any silver in them. Silver coins were made from silver and copper without any gold.
What is a substances ability to be pulled into a wire called?
The ability of a substance to be pulled into a wire is called ductility. Ductile materials, such as metals like copper and gold, can be easily drawn into thin wires without breaking.
To what class of minerals do gold silver and copper belong?
Gold, Silver and Copper belong to the native elements mineral group.
Which is heaviest silver gold iron copper?
Gold
