Is copper wire a condutor or insulator?
Insulator
Is copper wire a insulating wire?
yes Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and rubber are both good insulator's
The copper is an insulator?
yes copper is actually a very good insulator to both heat and electric conducting A2: NO. Copper is about the second-best electrical conductor, next to silver. It is also a very Good heat conductor. Try heating an iron poker in a fire. The heat travels slowly to the opposite end. A copper wire, however, if stuck in the fire, will transfer heat Very quickly--you won't be able to hold the other end of it! wikipedia.org/copper
Can copper wire would be a good conductor of electricity?
i sure hope so. copper is the most common metal used for electrical circuits.
What makes copper wire bend?

Is wire an insulator or conductor?
A metal wire is a conductor. It is the plastic layer round the wire that is an insulator.
What is the best metal to make an electromagnet out of?

Is a copper wire a insulator or conductor?
conductor
Why copper wire is more elastic than rubber?
because copper is a metal and polthene is a non metal? Infact, polythene doesn't even conduct electricity....
Is copper wire a insulating wire?
yes Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and rubber are both good insulator's
Would a copper wire act as the best insulator of electric current?
no it is good conductor because it has free electrons
Is a key a insulator or a conductor?
A metal key would conduct electricity.
Why is the copper wire surrounded by plastic?
because plastic is an insulator
Is copper wire a metal?
