No you cannot because copper is an extremely well conductor, which implies that energy would simply follow through the copper without dissipating much energy, it would not light up.

Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?

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.


Which is a better conductor tungsten copper silicon or silver?

Silver is the best conductor among these options, followed by copper, then tungsten, and finally, silicon. Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals, making it the best choice for conducting electricity. Copper is also an excellent conductor widely used in electrical applications. Tungsten is less conductive than silver and copper but still used in certain high-temperature applications for its properties. Silicon is a semiconductor, not a good conductor of electricity compared to the other materials listed.


Name a metal which offers higher resistance to the passage of electricity than copper?

It appears that Plutonium has the lowest conductivity (highest resistance) of all the metals, at 106 /Ohm*cm. This information comes from the link below.


Transition metals such as copper or tungsten form compounds by?

Transition metals such as copper or tungsten form compounds by donating and accepting electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. They can form compounds with a wide variety of elements due to their ability to exhibit variable oxidation states. These transition metals often act as catalysts in chemical reactions due to their ability to participate in redox reactions.

Why does tungsten heat and light up but copper wire does not?

Tungsten has a higher melting point than copper, making it more resistant to heat. When an electric current passes through tungsten, the high resistance causes it to heat up and emit light. Copper, on the other hand, has lower resistance and does not heat up or emit light as significantly when used in electrical applications.

Why is copper used in house wiring but tungsten is not?

Copper is used in house wiring because it is an excellent conductor of electricity, has good flexibility, and is corrosion resistant. Tungsten, on the other hand, is a poor conductor of electricity and is harder and more brittle than copper, making it unsuitable for house wiring applications.
