Best Answer

Phosphorus increases electrical resistance so it would negatively effect current efficiency in the electro chemical process of smelting aluminum. That is why Phosphorus is not used in primary production of aluminium. The process of taking refined bauxite (alumina) and turning it into pure aluminum uses an enormous amount of electrical power so any reduction of electrical resistance can improve efficiency and save a great deal of money.

What causes electrolysis in plumbing?

Electrolysis in plumbing affects the copper pipes used. If electrical wiring is installed too closely to copper water pipes, the electrical current running through the wiring charges to copper piping combined with the water and its properties causes electrolysis in the copper water pipes thereby weakening them.

How does effieciency of the machine affects it's performance?

if a machine is not efficient, it cannot fully utilise its performance. actual performance = efficiency x possible performance efficiency = actual performance / possible performance efficiency is always a decimal number less than 1, as no machine is perfect in terms of efficiency
