    Question

    Which property/ properties of copper make it ideal for electrical transmission lines? (i) Low melting point (ii) High resistivity (iii) Low resistance

    A.

    Only (i)

    B.

    Both (i) and (ii)

    C.

    Both (i) and (iii)

    D.

    Only (iii)

    Correct option is D

    Sol: The correct answer is (d) Only (iii)

    The properties of copper that make it ideal for electrical transmission lines are Low resistance

    Key Points:

    • Low Melting Point (i): This is not an ideal property for electrical transmission lines, as materials used need to withstand high temperatures without melting.
    • High Resistivity (ii): High resistivity is not desirable for electrical transmission lines. It means that the material resists the flow of electric current, causing energy losses.
    • Low Resistance (iii): This is the key property that makes copper ideal for electrical transmission lines. Low resistance allows efficient transmission of electricity with minimal energy losses.​

    Information booster:

    Copper:

    • Copper’s low resistance, high conductivity, and other properties like corrosion resistance and ductility make it an essential material in electrical transmission lines, wiring, electronics, and many industrial applications.​
