I would separate copper strands and iron filings by using a magnet. The iron is magnetic, but the copper is not, so the magnet picks up the iron, but leaves the copper behind.
Does a magnet attrack to copper?
No, they won't. Copper, while it is a good conductor of electricity, is not a ferromagnetic material, and a magnet won't be magnetically attracted to it. (They will stick to anything if you use enough glue!)
Could separate iron filings from copper sulphate and copper oxide with a magnet?
Yes, a magnet would remove the iron filings without attracting the copper salts, copper salts are not magnetic.
How can you tell the difference between a bar of iron a bar of copper and a magnet?

You can not plate silver with iron, so no. (you can cover silver inside iron, but that would be just ridiculous, unless you want to hide the silver) But if you plate iron with silver, then you can lift the silvery object with magnet. (because the magnet sticks to the iron) But silver, whatever state it is in (wire, plate, necklace) does not stick to a magnet.
