Is brass or copper a better conductor


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. Copper conducts electricity better than brass.
  2. Brass has only 28% of the conductive properties of copper.
  3. 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.
