Compare conductivity of iron copper and aluminum in terms of electricity.?

When compared by volume, copper is best, then aluminum and finally iron. When compared by weight, aluminum is better than copper. You have to compare by volume because aluminum is so much lighter than copper, an aluminum wire that weighed the same as a copper wire would be much bigger and harder to work with.


What can cause a break in the neutral underground electric line outside the house?

If the wire used is aluminum, just a small movement of this wire can cause a brake. Aluminum wire ran under a drive is an area I have seen a problum. If ran under a drive than it should be in concuit. With copper or aluminum the wire may have been nicked when it was installed. This would caues corrosion and a brake after some time.


How to calculate the best wire size to use with a 10-32 UNF-2A thread?

10-32 unf-2a <<>> The wire size does not need to be calculated. Use a wire terminal end that crimps to the wire. These terminal end come in various wire sizes and bolt hole sizes. Pick the correct end for the wire size you are using and then in that wire size range, pick the correct bolt hole size that fits the bolt.


Why do you use wire in a circuit?

Why do you use a pipe in a water supply network ? wire is the carrier of the current ( AMPERE ) which is necessary to run your electrical device whatever it is. Same as in water supply network , pipe is the carrier of the water


Why do you use aluminum compression connectors for both copper and aluminum wire?

There are many types of conectors avaliable. Some alum. and other conectors are ratted for both alum. and copper wire. It is easier and cost efective to stock only one type rather than two. Always use a conector ratted for the size and type of wire that you are using. Your suplier should be able to help you determine the proper conector. If not get a licensed electrician to help.
