Some things copper is used for are:

  1. Rooftops. It is best against erosion and is cheap, but over the years, it turns a light green due to a long-term chemical change.
  2. Copper is also used for copper wiring in houses because it is an amazing conductor of electricity.
  3. It is used for wiring alloys brass bronze and silver
  4. Copper tubing is used for some Plumbing.
  5. Copper is used in jewelry
  6. It is used in coinage
  7. Coffee pots and cooking pans are often made of copper.

copper can be used for batteries, pots, pans, computers, pennies, phones, electricity, and transportation vehicles.

It is also used for wiring. Hope that has helped (: xox <3
Copper is used to make many different things! Just a few examples: water pipes, jewellery, cooking utensils, plates, drinking vessels, roof coverings, outer protective cladding for ships' timbers...

It is used for electrical wiring because it conducts electricity very well. It also conducts heat very well so it is also used for things like kitchen pans.

Another answer

Copper (the chemical element Cu) is used widely in making wire for use as an electrical conductor as it is one of the best yet cheapest materials for this application. It is also used to make pennies. Other applications include construction materials, and as an addition to another or other metals to make alloys. It is used in police badges, and that is why they are called "cops." It was also used in the Statue of Liberty.

Yet another answer

Copper is sometimes used for covering roofs because it is much less expensive than gold, which is the very best metal to use against erosion!

However, if it is situated in a corrosive atmosphere, over several years copper turns a light-green colour due to surface oxidation. Note: copper is much more expensive than lead, which is the other pure metal is used to cover roofs.

Copper is much used for electrical wiring, either as a pure metal or in alloys with silver.

Copper tubing was most commonly used for plumbing but nowadays PVC plastic is extensively used instead because of its much cheaper cost.

Copper is also used to make jewelry and coinage.

Copper is used in computers, it is used for building integrated circuts, and even chips.


used in alloys like brass, bronze. it is a good conductor of electricity hence is used in electric wires
Copper has many uses, among which are:
  • coinage
  • electrical wiring
  • water supply and drainage pipes
  • roof flashings and roofing material
  • guttering and downspouts
  • fasteners and connectors
  • electrical motors
  • batteries
  • component of metal alloys
  • ornamentation
  • lightning rods
