All kinds of other things use copper as well. But it's used for wire because of its high conductivity, the highest of all metals except silver.
Heavy copper wire is used for heavy current loads.
Mainly copper for the wire, pvc for the insulation.
yes
To refine copper wire scrap, you need professional tools and equipment such as copper stripper which is used for removing insulation from copper wire.
Apparently mainly tinned copper is used in fuse wires. I have heard that there are a lot of other metals used as teh fuse wire though!

In most cases, copper is the metal used in wire.
Mainly metals. Silver is the best but copper is nearly as good and a lot cheaper. Aluminium is about 40% worse but is popular for overhead cables because they are lighter.
Mainly copper is used for household wiring but it may vary.
tin lead alloybasically tin lead allows are used . but other metals which have low melting point and appropriate resistivity can be used
No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.
Copper bare wire refers to uninsulated copper wire that has not been processed, while copper millberry wire is clean, untinned, uncoated, and unalloyed copper wire that is at least 99.9% pure. Millberry wire is typically used for high-quality applications like electrical wiring due to its purity and consistency, while bare copper wire is more commonly used for grounding applications.
