Copper wires are made of copper and aluminimum wires are made of aluminimum.
Don't work aluminimum wiring unless you know exactly what you are doing. It will react with copper wire and wiring devices and will start a fire. There is special grease and wiring devices to prevent this that you need to use. If you have aluminimum wire, make sure you do your homework.

The electrical capacity of any type of cables/wires are depending on the heat withstand capacity of the material wich can be calculated with the product of square of current, Resistance of the material and Total time for flow of current. I2RT. Resistance again can be calculated as R=rho*L/A where rho is the resistivity, L is the length and A is the area of cross section. So for a fixed current flow and fixed Length of wire the area of cross section of the cable is directly propotional to the resistivity. resistivity of copper is 1.68x10 power -8 and that of Pure Aluminum is 2.82x10 power -8. So.. for a specific current flow, an aluminum cable size shall be 1.7 times that of copper cable. This also is not recommented as the Aluminum resistivity varries with the alloys and even with casting. 2.5 times the size of copper can be recommented for Aluminum cables. Also as the temporature expansion of Aluminum is 3 times that of copper. So all the termination and joining areas shall be treated more sensible that of copper.
No need to be afraid to use Aluminum cable if you work with the proper recommented size.
Silver conducts better then wire, however it costs more so it's not commonly used.
Copper instead of silver wiring is used for electrical wiring because copper is a good conductor of electricity. Likewise, silver is more expensive to use for wiring than copper.
magnet wire is usually copper wire that has an insulating coating on it so you can wind it on a core. copper wire can be bare. more of a terminology thing.
Cost to the best of my knowledge.
copper wire because we all know that metal strengthens the magnetic field but copper has a special property that strengthens the magnetic field further so copper is the answer P.S. i already did the experiment

Shut the main breaker off on your distribution panel. Remove the cover. Look at the colour of the wires that are connected to the breakers. If they are silver in colour then they are aluminum wires. If they are copper in colour then they are copper wires. Replace the panel cover and turn the main breaker back on.
copper wire that is coated with tin
A copper wire is considered to be a homogeneous system.
According to different conductors, magnet wires can be divided into copper-based magnet
An important type of winding wire
The copper, technically, wouldn't increase it's power but rather extend the magnetic field of the magnet.
The copper wire carries an electric current.
Mexicans are very interesting.
a copper wire carrying current and another magnet.
No, a copper wire that is not carrying a current will not be attracted to a magnet. Copper is not a magnetic material, so it does not interact with magnetic fields in the same way that magnetic materials like iron or nickel do.

The copper wire has to be wound around a iron core to get the full effect of electromagnetism.
a magnet moved through a copper coil makes electricity
A spinning magnet inside a coil of copper wire will produce electricity.
No, copper is not magnetic. That said, if the copper wire has an electric current flowing through it then it will generate its own magnetic field around the wire. It seems feasible that this could be enough to move the wire if you have another magnet near it.
