What metal conducts electricity well and is used for wires and pipes?
Copper is the main metal used for this purpose.
Conducts electricity in solid state metal or nonmetal?
Metal, nonmetals are extremely poor conductors. Think copper wires.
What is the metal in an electric wire made of?
Mainly copper. Both copper and aluminum wire is used in the electrical trade. Copper in the smaller size wires but aluminum becomes more viable when bigger size wire is needed. This is usually 200 amp services and larger. When aluminum wire is used for a specific amperage, one size larger is required than when using copper. The money savings on aluminum wire over copper wire in the larger sizes is about 20%.
Which vegetable is good for conducting electricity?
Usually copper wires are preferred as a conductor. Or some other metal.
What can be pulled into wires?
The word is ductile. It is a physical property of many metals.
What is copper metal used for?

copper
What is the periodeic table of elements metal used in wires?
Most wires are made of copper
Are copper wires and metal wires conductor?
The plain and simple answer to this is yes. Metal (Copper or not) has the highest conductivity properties. I will say however that some are more conductive than other.
Why is copper used as a conductor in transmission lines?
They are the most cost effective while maintaining good conductivity for electricity. Gold is the best conductor, but is too costly to make into wires.
Metal that is often used in wires that conduct electricity?
i was thinking copper
Is copper conductor or insulators?
Conductor, which is why it's used for wires.
What metal conducts electricity well and is used for wires and pipes?
Copper is the main metal used for this purpose.
Why are electrical wires made up of copper?
Most electrical wires are made up of copper instead of any other metal. The reason for this is that copper is such an excellent conductor of electricity and it is relatively inexpensive.
