What elements make electric cable?

Copper and aluminium are used for electric cables.


What percentage of copper in Electric generator?

Electric generators typically contain copper windings to conduct electricity. The percentage of copper in an electric generator can vary, but it can range from 20% to 30% of the total weight of the generator. Copper is favored for its high electrical conductivity and resistance to heat.


Why is a copper wire not used to make filaments of electric bulbs?

Because the filament is in effect a resistor. Copper is too good a conductor to provide resistance to the current, and would simply allow the current to complete the circuit. The light is generated by the filament glowing as it heats up in resistance to the current. Tungsten is a much better resistor.


Why iron is not a good conductor of heat if it compair to copper?

Copper has relatively easily available electron as compare to the iron because copper has bigger atomic size than iron which means the shielding effect in copper is more than iron so the electron of copper can conduct heat more easily and efficiently as compare to the electron of the iron which make iron not a good conductor of heat if it is compair to copper.


What metal is normally used for wires in electric circuits?

Gold or silicon may be the metal most popular for use in electronic circuits. Gold because it does not corrode in the atmosphere and silicon because it is used to make semi-conductors. <><><> A lot of gold is used for fine wires and contacts... Silver and copper quickly oxidise (also called "tarnish") if exposed to the atmosphere so are not used as much despite their very good conductivity which is almost as good as gold.

Why are aluminium and copper used for making electric wires?

Copper and aluminum are good conductors. Other conductors like silver aren't used to make electric wires because copper and aluminum are cheaper but have the same properties.


Why is copper commonly use to make electric wires?

Copper is commonly used to make electric wires because it is an excellent conductor of electricity, allowing for the efficient transfer of electricity through the wires. Copper is also highly conductive and ductile, making it easy to shape into wires for various electrical applications. Additionally, copper has good corrosion resistance, ensuring the longevity and durability of the wires.


What are coppers usses?

Copper is used in wires and water pipes. The properties that make copper suitable for electric wires are:-1. Ductile2. high melting points3. good conductor.The copper used in electric wires has to be purified up to 99.99%, because impurities decreases its rate of conductivity.


What elements make electric cable?

Copper and aluminium are used for electric cables.


Is cooper used to make electric wire because it it a good insulator?

No. Because it is a good conductor.


Is copper used to make electric wires and water pipes?

Because at one time copper was plentiful and cheap. This is no longer the case and new plastics are taking the place of many copper pipes.


What metal is usually used to make a electric wire?

Copper


Why is copper a good metal to make water pipes with?

Copper was good, mainly because it doesn't rust. Now there many pipes in plastics such as PEX, which are infinitely better than copper. Nobody smart uses copper any more.


Which material is used to make Electric Busbars?

High grade copper.. am I right?


What metal are use to make electric wire and why?

copper plated aluminum wire


Why is copper used for the electrodes?

Because sulphate ions move towards anode (copper) the copper of anode donates 2 electrons to external circuit and becomes +2 ions and moves to the solution so copper anode continuously dissolves in solution.
