Copper cable doesn't conduct as well as Aluminum , but for most applications, Copper doesn't heat up as quickly as Aluminum, and is stronger in tensile strength. Also when using Aluminum cable you need to use an oxide to help conduct as Aluminum will work loose from locks in time.
What else can I help you with?
Why are copper wires used in as connecting wires?
The copper wires used connect. Because conductivity of Cooper higher than aluminium but price of Cooper higher than aluminum. If compare between copper and aluminium cable can see at the same current rate diameter of aluminium cable is larger than copper cable.
What is the weight of aluminum conductor as compared to a copper conductor?
Aluminium weighs less than copper for the given volume
Which metal is most reactive between copper and aluminium?
Aluminium is more reactive than copper. Aluminium can react with oxygen in the air to form a protective oxide layer, while copper does not readily react with oxygen.
What alloy does aluminum iron and copper make?
There are some "aluminium bronze" alloys which contain aluminium copper with a small amount of iron and other metals- these are mainly copper with 4-8% aluminium and ess than 1% of other metals.
Which material has a greater resistance aluminum or copper wire?
Copper wire has greater resistance than aluminum wire. This is because copper is a better conductor of electricity than aluminum. This means that copper wire will have less resistance and will be able to carry more current with less energy loss.
Why aluminium cable cost less than copper cable?
copper cost more to mine then aluminum so aluminum will cost less then copper cable.
Why are copper wires used in as connecting wires?
The copper wires used connect. Because conductivity of Cooper higher than aluminium but price of Cooper higher than aluminum. If compare between copper and aluminium cable can see at the same current rate diameter of aluminium cable is larger than copper cable.
Why copper and aluminium used as low frequency magnetic field detection?
They are both good conductors, but copper is better than aluminium, and sufficently ductile to easily make wire out of them.
Is copper denser than aluminium?
Stainless steel is heavier then aluminium.
Is copper more reactive then aluminium?
No, copper is less reactive than aluminum.
What is the weight of aluminum conductor as compared to a copper conductor?
Aluminium weighs less than copper for the given volume
Which metal is most reactive between copper and aluminium?
Aluminium is more reactive than copper. Aluminium can react with oxygen in the air to form a protective oxide layer, while copper does not readily react with oxygen.
Is aluminium used for water pipes and electrical wires?
Aluminium is not used for water pipes. It's not as elastic as Copper. Because aluminium is less expensive than copper, it is sometimes used for electrical wiring, but, because it corrodes much more easily than copper, much more care has to be taken a) to protect it from the atmosphere and b) to make connections that will be remain reliable over a long period of time. Overall, aluminium wire is not as easy to install so, for general purposes, copper wire is better.
What alloy does aluminum iron and copper make?
There are some "aluminium bronze" alloys which contain aluminium copper with a small amount of iron and other metals- these are mainly copper with 4-8% aluminium and ess than 1% of other metals.
Is aluminium a rubbish conductor PLEASE telll meeeeeeee?
No. Aluminum is about half as good as copper (the best) and several times better than stainless steel.
Which material has a greater resistance aluminum or copper wire?
Copper wire has greater resistance than aluminum wire. This is because copper is a better conductor of electricity than aluminum. This means that copper wire will have less resistance and will be able to carry more current with less energy loss.
What are the advantages of using copper compared to aluminium for transmission lines?
Copper is a better conductor than aluminum. Two wires with the same cross-sectional area, or any two constructs with the same physical shape and size, one fabricated from aluminum and the other from copper, the one made of aluminum always has higher ohmic resistance.
