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.
What else can I help you with?
WHY do the connecting wires used in electric circuits not produce any heating effect?
because of its covering.
Why electric wires are covered with insulator?
Electric wires are covered with insulators to prevent the flow of electricity away from the intended path, which could cause short circuits, fires, or electric shocks. Insulators help to protect people and equipment from the dangers of exposed electrical currents by containing the flow within the wire. The insulation around the wire also acts as a barrier against moisture, dust, and other environmental factors that could affect the performance and safety of the electrical system.
Why are most eletrical wires surrounded by nonmetal materials?
Electrical wires are surrounded by nonmetal materials, such as rubber or plastic, to provide insulation that prevents electricity from escaping, reduces the risk of electric shock, and protects the wires from damage. Metal materials can conduct electricity, making it unsafe for wires to be exposed or surrounded by metal.
Why fuse wires are not used in a circuit containing electric circuit?
The size and composition of fuse wire is designed to "burn through" in an over current situation. That works fine as long as the current is lower than the fused rating. If you were to use the wire in the circuit then all your wire would essentially disintegrate in an over current situation.
What charges are free to move in conducting circuits?
Generally electrons, in metal. Specifically loosely-bound electrons from the outer orbital. Or holes, in p-type semiconductor. Or ions, in conducting liquid like battery acid. Or electrons, in a cathode-ray-tube.but i conclude it would be electrons. OR Q-which charges are more free to move in a conductor. A-electrons
What metal is usually for wires in electric circuits?
copper as it is a good conductor of electricity :)
Why are household electric wires covered with plastic or rubber?
Household electric wires are covered with plastic or other materials as insulation to prevent short circuits and fires, and to prevent electric shocks.
How are circuits made?
circuits are made by connecting wires to an electrical resource and the electricity travels through and powers your electric device.
What is the metal used for electric wire?
Copper and aluminum used for electric wires
WHY do the connecting wires used in electric circuits not produce any heating effect?
because of its covering.
What particles carry electric current through metal wires?
In metal wires, electric current is carried by electrons. Electrons are the negatively charged particles that flow through the conductor when a voltage is applied, creating the flow of electricity.
Which metal is used in electric wires commonly at home and why?
Copper Metal is used because it is good conductor of electricity
What metal is usually used for wires in electric circuit?
Copper is the most commonly used metal for wires in electric circuits due to its excellent electrical conductivity, resistance to corrosion, and malleability for easy shaping into wires. Aluminum is also used in some applications, especially for power distribution due to its lower cost and lighter weight compared to copper.
What are five uses of copper in Latin America?
Copper fittings, electromagnets, electric wires, lead-free solder (alloyed with tin), integrated circuits.
Are all electric wires in a house metal?
Yes. Conducting carbon and plastic cannot cope with the current.
Why electric wires are covered with insulator?

What are the different colors of wires used in electrical circuits, including white, green, and black wires?
In electrical circuits, white wires are typically used as neutral wires, green wires are used as ground wires, and black wires are commonly used as hot wires.
