Answer / er. ankush miglani 9718151073

cu: 1. costly
2. higher current rating
3. less power losses
4. stronger than Al
5. 1 sqmm of cu can take current upto 4.5 amp( 2nd
point)
6. more heat resistive
7. good conductor coz of higher current rating
Al: 1. cheaper
2. low current rating
3. more power losses than cu
4. weaker
5. 1 sqmm = 1.2 amp
6. less heat resistive
7. good conductor but cu

Answer / m s rana

Cu - Good conductor higher current rating
high current rating
less power losses
1 sqmm of cu can take current upto 4.5 amp
costly conductor
more heat resistive
stronger than Al

Al good conductor but not then cu
low current rating
more power losses than cu condctor
less heat resistive
