describe i. soldering ii. crimping as used in jointing electrical conductors

i. Soldering is a method of joining two electrical conductors by melting a low-melting-point metal, called solder, and using it to create a joint between the conductors. The conductors are heated until the solder melts, and then the melted solder is applied to the joint between the conductors. The joint is then allowed to cool, resulting in a strong, permanent connection.

 ii. Crimping is a method of joining two electrical conductors by using a specialized tool, called a crimping tool, to apply pressure to the conductors in order to create a strong, permanent connection. The conductors are placed into a crimp connector, and the crimping tool is used to apply pressure to the connector and the conductors, creating a secure joint. Crimping is typically used for connections that need to be more durable than those made with soldering, such as connections that will be exposed to vibration or movement.
