Expert Answer

For electric power transmission, copper or aluminium wire is used? [SSC class 10th Part I -2023]

Ans: Because of their low electrical resistivity, copper and aluminium wires are commonly used for power transmission. This means that they allow for easy flow of electric current with minimal energy loss due to resistance. Although copper has a lower resistivity than aluminium, aluminium is lighter and less expensive, making it a viable option for long-distance power transmission.
