Question
Is brass or copper a better conductor
Open in App
Solution
Explanation:
Copper conducts electricity better than brass.
Brass has only 28% of the conductive properties of copper.
Copper is more conductive than brass, but it is too soft to be utilized in electrical equipment such as sockets and plugs. As a result, electrical plugs and sockets are made of brass.
Hence, copper is a better conductor than brass.
