Electric wires are generally made of _________ .
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A copper
The purpose of electric wires is to allow the flow of current in the circuit. So the electric wires should be made of conductors. Hence, copper is generally used to make electric wires.
Silver and gold are better conductors than copper but they are very costly. So, they are not economical to use.
Rubber is an insulator and hence, cannot be used as a wire.
