No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.

What has the lowest resistance copper wire or iron wire?
Copper wire. .wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_conductivity
Is copper wire a pure substance heterogeneous mixture or homogeneous?
copper is an ELEMENT therefore it is not a heterogeneous OR homogeneous mixture.
What is it called when copper is pulled into thin wires?
Copper Wire
What is the compound formed after plunging a heated copper wire into a methanol?
It depends on what you added to the methanol before you put the heated copper wire into the methanol. The heated copper wire acted as a catalyst to speed up the reaction between the methanol and the other substance. Copper itself does not react with methanol.
What is the chemical name of copper wire?
Copper. The wire is made of elemntal copper not a chemical compound. (Note the copper used may sometimes be alloyed with another metal or occasionally be a solid solution of small amounts of oxide in the pure metal. This improves the durability and handling characteristics of the wire.)
Can you change from aluminum wire to copper wire in a new oven?
Copper is preferable to aluminum and the size of wire should be the same or the next size down if copper is used.
What is the aluminum wire equivalent to?
In the electrical trade aluminum wire is equivalent to copper wire as it is also used to carry current. To carry the same current as copper wire aluminum wire is up sized to meet the same ampacity.
Can copper and alluminium wire of same length and diameter have same resistance?
For a single temperature, yes. The copper wire will have a much smaller cross-section than the iron wire. For multiple temperatures, no. Copper and iron have different temperature coefficients for resistivity.
What are the elements in a copper wire?
If the copper wire really is pure copper then the only element in the copper wire is copper (Cu).
Is a copper wire the same as a zinc wire?
No. While they are both metals, and both are elements, copper and zinc wire are made from different elements, and would be used for different results or purposes.
Why is wire better than copper wire on an electromagnet?

Composition of copper wire in generators?
how much copper is in copper wire
Is copper wire a plasma?
No. Copper wire is a solid
Is copper wire waterproof?
No.. Copper wire isn't
Dose recycled copper wire be come new copper wire?
Copper wire sent for recycling is remelted and rerefined. It becomes a new copper product one of which might be new copper wire.
Which kind of magnet has the same magnetic field as the long coil of wire?
copper
Is the gold or copper wire or the silver wire positive?
It doesn't really matter, as long as you connect them to the same polarity at both ends. Most people use the gold or reddish-copper wire as the positive, as it is the red terminal and the silver, or non-colored lead to the negative as it is black.
