A solid rod because it has more particles in it. The heat then has a solid area to travel through and heat travels best through solids. I think you know the rest.

What is the advantage of using a stranded copper conductor over a solid copper conductor?

It would of course depend on the specific application. Current tends to travel on the surface of a conductor and a stranded conductor has more surface area and thus offers less resistance to the current. Stranded wire also bends a bit easier than the corresponding size solid wire.


How much better is the thermal conductivity of a copper pot compared to a steel pot?

Copper is a much better conductor of heat than steel. This is why stainless steel cookware is clad in copper; it gets the heat in more effectively. Regarding a copper pot compared to a steel pot - I don't think anyone makes solid copper cookware. It leave a strange metallic taste in the mouth.

What is a better conductor brass or copper?

Yes. On a scale of 0 to 100, where annealed copper is 100, aluminum rates a 59, and brass averages 28. I say averages because there are actually quite a few different alloys of brass, but all of them are poorer conductors than aluminum.
