Copper is a metal and as such it can conduct electricity very well. Additionally, copper is a very good conductor off heat when compared to the more abundant metals such as aluminium.

What is a metal that is often used in wires that conduct electricity?
Copper, and to a lesser extent gold, are used in conductors.
What 2 things do you need for a current to flow?
Potential difference and the conductor. A cell and a bulb. Some connecting wires. The bulb can be made glow by connecting the wires with the cell.
Function of connecting wires?
To conduct an electric signal from one point to another.
What is the function of connecting wire?
The function of connecting wires is allowing currency to flow through in order to have a complete circuit
Explain why it is likely that wires in a toaster are made of copper?
it is likely that the wires in a toaster are made of copper and not silver,because wire is a type of conductor which would help the toaster resume working.
Why are copper wires used in as connecting wires?
The copper wires used connect. Because conductivity of Cooper higher than aluminium but price of Cooper higher than aluminum. If compare between copper and aluminium cable can see at the same current rate diameter of aluminium cable is larger than copper cable.
Why Connecting wires made of copper?
Copper is great for conducting electricity, is malable, and has a high melting point.
Why are copper wires used instead of steel wires?
I think copper is cheaper.
How has copper been used?
Copper has been used lately in wires and cables like coaxial and electric wires.
Why is it advised to clean the ends of connecting wires before connecting them?
because electricity flows very nicely through copper but not so well through dirt.
Are wires used when connecting the Wii to the Wii fit?
no
Why are thick copper wires used as connecting wires?
-- Any energy dissipated by the conencting wires is lost from the circuit, and unavailable to do the job for which the circuit is intended. The less resistance the connecting wires have, the less energy they'll dissipate. So the connecting wires need to have as little resistance as possible. -- Copper is easy to work, easy to form wires from, and is the second-best electrical conductor known, after silver. Copper is used instead of silver because it costs less. -- The thicker any wire is, the less resistance it has.
Why is copper used for telephone wires?
Copper is used for telephone wires because it is the second best conductor of electricity after silver (which is a little pricey).
What can pure copper be used for?
Pure copper is used for electrical wiring. Pure copper conducts electricity better than impure copper.
What is copper metal used for?
Pipes, wires.
What is copper used for as an electrical conductor?
