What is copper used for as an electrical conductor?
Wires.
What elements are used in making metallic products and their examples?
Common elements used in making metallic products include iron, aluminum, copper, and titanium. Examples of metallic products include steel beams, aluminum cans, copper wires, and titanium implants.
Why is copper used for electrical wiring instead of iron?
Copper wires conduct electricity much better than iron. This is because electric current passes through copper with very less resistance. it is also more ductile and malleable.
Can copper be pulled into wires?
Yes it is routinely used for that purpose
Why copper wires are used in householding wires?
It's because copper is the best conductor of electricity, other than silver which is slightly better but too expensive.
Are copper wires and not steel wires used in electric circuits although both copper and steel are electrical conductors?
Steel is not used as an electrical conductor because, although it is a conductor, it's not a very good conductor -as is copper and aluminium, for example. A steel-wire core is used, however, to reinforce aluminium conductors on transmission tower lines
Why are copper wires and not steel wires used in electric circuits although both are copper and steel are electoral conductors?
copper is cheaper to manufacture and easier to bend then steel
Why saline water is not used in wires instead of copper wires?
Copper stays where you put it much better than saline water does.
Why is steel not used for electric wires?
Because steel is not a good conductor of electricity. Copper is the best conductor for electricity.
Why not use gold as wires since its free electrons is farther away from the nucleus than copper?
Copper is used instead of gold because gold is way to expensive and not practical.
What metal is mostly used with copper coated wires?
Wires are made of copper and sometimes coated with silver for use at frequencies above 1 GHz. Wires used on overhead power lines are usually stranded aluminimum with inner strands of steel.
How has copper been used?
Copper has been used lately in wires and cables like coaxial and electric wires.
Metal that is often used in wires that conduct elecricity?
Copper is the most commonly used conductor material in wiring, steel is also used but is much firmer and harder to bend.
Why is copper used for telephone wires?
Copper is used for telephone wires because it is the second best conductor of electricity after silver (which is a little pricey).
Why is copper usually used to make electrical wires instead of iron?
it is cheaper,conduct electricity better then iron,more ductile and maleable

Wires.
What is used to make wires and pipes?
copper
