the purpose of a copper wire is that a copper is a good electricity conductor and to make electricity pass through it we made copper wires so that electricity could pass through it giving a plastic coating or a sheet over it to cover it and protect it plus not to give anyone a current :) =) <3
Yes, without the insulation on the wire you would have a hard time getting the voltage to the load without a short circuit developing.
Yes! It's a metal, so it can be forged into something new. Of course. Copper wire contains copper. You can use a copper wire stripper to remove the insulation and you get copper core or a copper wire gramulator to make them into small copper granules after grinding and separating the insulation.
Generally speaking, the copper is the wire. If it is coated, it can be stripped in small sections, but if you need to get rid of a large amount of plastic insulation, you will have to find some safe way to burn it off. Safe, in this context, means in a place where the fumes ( which are toxic ) won't bother anyone, and the metal can be removed without danger- preferably after it has cooled.
Copper's high malleability and ductility allow it to be pulled into thin wire. These properties mean that copper can be easily stretched and shaped without breaking, making it an ideal material for wire production.
Copper wire is ductile, meaning it can be stretched without breaking. It bends easily due to its malleability, allowing it to be shaped into various forms without losing its structural integrity. The atomic structure of copper also plays a role in its ability to bend; the arrangement of atoms allows the wire to deform under stress.
Yes.

It is not recommended to boil the plastic off copper wire as this can release harmful fumes into the air. It is safer to use a wire stripper or cutter designed for this purpose to remove the plastic insulation from copper wire.
The insulation on a wire is applied after the wire is drawn to size.
To refine copper wire scrap, you need professional tools and equipment such as copper stripper which is used for removing insulation from copper wire.
The copper is a good conductor of electricity. While the insulating plastic covering of the wire prevents bare wires touching and creating a short, or shocking (electrocuting) a person should the bare wire be touched with bare hands.
Hot copper wire gives off no fumes.However if you are talking about insulated copper wire, the insulation will give off fumes. Depending on the type of insulation it can be anywhere from totally safe to deadly!

Not that I know of. When insulation is applied to wire it is extruded so that the insulating material is uniform around the conductor. Without this uniformity the conductors insulation factor would vary and the wire would have to be rated at the lowest reading factor when tested with a high voltage. Even when splicing a wire, the electrical code states that the insulation covering the splice has to be brought up to or surpass the insulation factor that is supplied by the manufacturer of the wire.
castings made from copper alloy are a higher grade of copper than the copper in wire. Also, the insulation on the copper wire needs to be removed,
No, number one copper is used in buss bars. "Number one copper" is a term I am familiar with from recycling copper. It does indeed include buss bars, but also includes any solid wire whose insulation has been removed, or large gauge wire with large strands (as opposed to small gauge stranded wire) whose insulation has been removed. -- Sparkfighter
Mainly copper for the wire, pvc for the insulation.
