Copper 2. Silver 3. Lead 4. Magnesium Answer (Detailed Solution Below) Option 1 : Copper Electrical Wiring MCQ Question 7 Detailed Solution The correct answer is Copper. © Key Points * Copper has been used in electrical wiring since the invention of the electromagnet and the telegraph in the early 1800s. + Copper electrical connectors are still used in telecommunications, as well as power generation, distribution, and transmission. * The lower the level of resistivity, the more electrical conductivity a metal has. > Copper has low resistivity and therefore is an excellent conductor. + Copper is less oxidative than other metals, this is nother reason. » Important Points + The electrical resistivity of particular conductor material is a measure of how strongly the material opposes the flow of electric current through it [RESISTIVITY CONDUCTIVITY ym meter) _|(Siemens/m) ICopper|1.72 x 10% 5.96x10 Silver_|1.59x10-® [630x107 lead |2.20x107 [455x105 MET!r Rs 2 ieee ae li): Boreas PS Ela Orel lM ed Lda) Rea test ec Mock Tests DCS caerery Corre ecu Exotica?

It is also known as the Imperial Wire Gauge or British Standard Gauge. + Use of SWG sizes has fallen greatly in popularity, but is still used as a measure of thickness in guitar strings and some electrical wire. + Cross sectional atea in square millimeters is now the more usual size measurement for wires used in electrical installation cables. American Wire Gauge (AWG): + Itis a U.S. standard for wire conductor size. The "gauge' is related to the diameter of the wire. + The AWG standard includes copper, aluminum and other wire materials. * Typical household copper wiring is AWG number 12 or 14. Telephone wire is usually 22, 24, or 26. * The higher the gauge number, the smaller the diameter and the thinner the wire.‘Symbol of Gauge measurement System; Gauge Chart; AWG ‘Swe Gauge no.
