. Which of the following property is not responsible for copper to
be used as electrical conduction wires?
(a) ductility (c) good conductor of electricity
(b) colour (d) it is solid
The property that is not responsible for copper being used as electrical conduction wires is (b) color.
Explanation: Copper’s color is irrelevant to its electrical conductivity; its key properties for use in wiring are its high electrical conductivity and ductility, meaning it can be drawn into thin wires.
Why other options are incorrect:
(a) ductility:
Ductility is the ability of a metal to be drawn into wires, making it a crucial property for electrical conductors.
(c) good conductor of electricity:
Copper is a very good conductor of electricity, which is the primary reason it’s used in wiring.
(d) it is solid:
While not directly related to its electrical conductivity, being solid at room temperature is a general property of metals that are good conductors.
