Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?
No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.
What is the chemical name of copper wire?
Copper. The wire is made of elemntal copper not a chemical compound. (Note the copper used may sometimes be alloyed with another metal or occasionally be a solid solution of small amounts of oxide in the pure metal. This improves the durability and handling characteristics of the wire.)
What the apparatus that can be used to measure the diameter of a copper wire?
A caliper is commonly used to measure the diameter of a copper wire. It can provide precise measurements by using its jaws to grasp the wire and providing a reading of the diameter on its scale.
Where is copper wire used?
Copper wire is commonly used in electrical wiring for buildings, homes, and industrial facilities. It is also used in telecommunications and data networking applications for transmitting signals. Additionally, copper wire is used in various consumer electronics and appliances.
Is there copper wire in phone chargers?
Yes, phone chargers typically contain copper wire as it is a common material used for conducting electricity. The copper wire inside the charger helps to transfer the electrical current from the power source to the device being charged.
Why can't copper wire used as a fuse wire?
Metal with a lower melting point is preferred for fuse wire to reduce the risk of fire.
Why can not copper wire be used as a fuse wire?
The fuse needs a low melting point and reletivelyhigh resistance so that it melts at the proper current
What will happen if a thick copper wire is used in fuse?
If a thick copper wire is used in a fuse then by definition of a fuse this device would no longer be defined as a fuse. A fuse in a circuit is used to protect the conductors feeding the load of that circuit. The circuit, if using a thick copper wire in a fuse, would then be considered as a non fused circuit.
What is fuse wire?
copper and tin
What are the mixtures in fuse wire?
tin lead alloybasically tin lead allows are used . but other metals which have low melting point and appropriate resistivity can be used
Which metal used in fuse wires?
Apparently mainly tinned copper is used in fuse wires. I have heard that there are a lot of other metals used as teh fuse wire though!
What is fuse wire made?
copper and tin
Why is aluminum or copper wire not used as fuse wire?
Because those metals have a high meling point, so it's easier and safer to use fuse wire which melts at a lower teamp.
Is it safe to use copper to repair electrical fuse?
yes very safe.add. Fuse wire is usually made of tin-plated copper. The fuse wire may well get warm in service, and a bare copper wire will gradually oxidize and will fail sooner as a consequence.
Why is copper used in fuses?
Copper is used in the contact points in fuse boxes because it will oxidize and you can separate the points of contact. If it was made if iron and rusted, it will 'weld' the link together and then it is no longer a fuse.
What types of metal wire could you use to replace a normal fuse wire?
The common metals used in fuse elements are zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, or alloys. Bear in mind that, of them, copper has one of the highest melting points so is only used for specific high temperature fuses. For domestic use the alloy fuse is used.
What do you think will happen if a thick copper wire is used as a fuse?
Using a thick copper wire as a fuse is not recommended because copper wire has low resistance and will not effectively limit the current flow in case of an overload. This can lead to damage of the circuit or equipment and potentially cause a fire hazard due to excessive current passing through the wire. It's important to use the appropriate fuse rated for the circuit to ensure safety.
