Answer 1

COPPER

$\large\mathcal{QUESTION:}$

• Why is copper not usually used in over head electric cable?

$\large\mathcal{ANSWER:}$

• It is because copper has a high current density, which means it can carry more current per unit of cross-sectional area. Copper conductors have a smaller cross-sectional area as a result. Copper, on the other hand, is rarely used for overhead power lines due to its higher cost and scarcity.
