In this ace, we are going to see te ference between ‘aluminium and copper cables. Updated: ch rn een Aluminium and cc bles {The atomic umber of Aluminium is 19 and the atomic structures 28,3. In this, ExancarWhtegg Cre n we have 3 fre electronic in the valance band wit thee energy Ivel DUNG, geysers ase the current aw fo push valance electrons, aluminium consumes mora energy Grup on since valance slecton very near to the nucleus. Due to this instant, He ses cael resistivity of the alumeium conductors high: ypcally, 2.65 to 282* 10-8 0m. tage Sate ‘Therefore, power loss in the AL conductor high. 2.In copper, tne stomie number is 29 and the structure is 2.8.18.1. Copper i= having 4 energy level ence the atraction rom the nucleus to valance electron Machine tng aul Wi be ess. Due to this, for pushing the valance electron at the 4 fyel is F=™Aar simple.
