Electrical Conductivity of Different Materials | Electrical4U

A SIMPLE explanation of the Electrical Conductivity of Different Materials. If you want to learn more about Conducting Materials, you can learn more at: https://www.electrical4u.com/classification-of-electrical-conducting-material/ Electrical conducting material are the basic requirement for electrical engineering products. Material having low resistivity or high conductivity is very useful in electrical engineering products. These materials used as conductors for all kinds of windings required in electrical machines, apparatus, and devices. These materials are also used as conductors in the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Some of the low resistivity or high conductivity materials and their resistivity are given in the table below – Silver Copper Gold Aluminum High Resistivity or Low Conductivity Conducting Material Materials having High resistivity or Low conductivity conducting are very useful for electrical engineering products. These materials are used to manufacture the filaments for incandescent lamps, heating elements for electric heaters, space heaters, and electric irons, etc. Some materials having High resistivity or Low conductivity are listed below: Tungsten Carbon Nichrome or Brightray – B Nichrome – Vor Brightray – C
