प्रश्न
Give a scientific reason:
For electric power transmission, copper or aluminium wire is used.
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Copper and aluminium are excellent electrical conductors.
- Since the resistance of copper and aluminium is very low, the amount of heat generated while carrying an electric current through them is also low.
Therefore, copper or aluminium wires are used for electricity transfer.
