Copper Wire.

Copper is probably the most used bulk electrical conductor. Silver is used in smaller electronic applications.


I was wondering if anybody can remember where, due to a lack of Cu, Ag was used in vast quantities for a special application at great expense. The details elude me at present. I have two clues. Ten tons and 1,663.

    Silver plated conductors are commonly used in HF equipment due to skin effect where the current flows near the surface of the conductor. In high powered VHF/ UHF transmitters silver plated tubes are used as opposed to solid conductors.
