Solution

Aluminum and copper (Cu) both are metals and are used to make electric wires due to the following reasons:

  • They are good conductors of electricity and allow current to pass through them easily.
  • They both are ductile i.e. they can be easily drawn or stretched into thin wires without breaking.
  • They are also cheap in price.

Hence, aluminum and copper metals are used to make electric wires.
