Question

How should the conducting materials be in terms of malleability and ductility?

(a) highly malleable, less ductile

(b) less malleable, less ductile

(c) highly malleable, highly ductile

(d) less malleable, highly ductile

The question was asked during an internship interview.

My enquiry is from Electrical Conducting Materials in portion Electrical Engineering Materials of Design of Electrical Machines

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) highly malleable, highly ductile

For explanation I would say: The materials, having high malleability allow smooth conduction in transmission and distribution. The materials having high ductility help in producing wires flexibly for conduction.
