Question

Which is the best metal to use in an alloy to increase its electrical conductivity?
A) Al
B) Cu
C) Fe
D) Sb

Answer 1

B) Cu Copper is the best metal to use in an alloy because it has the highest electrical conductivity rating of all non-precious metals due to the arrangement of its electrons. They are easily excited and can easily carry an electoral charge.

Answer 2

Answer;

-Copper (Cu)

Explanation;

-While all metals can conduct electricity, certain metals are more commonly used due to being highly conductive. The most common example is Copper. It is highly conductive which is why it is has been used in electrical wiring.

-Copper is used for electrical wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity. Metal particles are held together by strong metallic bonds, which is why they have high melting and boiling points. The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.
