The question is actually wrong, they can both have the same resistance if configured differently, the real question should be which has a higher resistivity which is the electrical resistance found in a standard amount of each material. In this case Manganin has a higher resistivity than copper.

Which of the material is used for the swamping resistance that is connected in series with the working coil of a voltmeter?
A swamping resistor is usually manufactured from the metal alloy manganin (trade name), or other alloy with similar resistance/temperature characteristics -i.e. practically zero temperature coefficient of resistance. In other words, its resistance will remain more-or-less constant over a wide range of temperature variation.
How the resistance of conducting material vary with temperature?
Well, there's typically two types of materials-Those with positive temperature coefficient and those with negative temperature coefficient. Positive temperature coefficient are those whose resistance increases as temperature increases. Negative temperature cofficient are those whose resistance decrease when the temperature increase. There are however some alloys such as Manganin& Constantan whose resistance is not affected by temperature
Can a copper wire be used as a variable resistor in a circuit?
Because copper is a very good conductor, it isn't used for making the main body of a resistor. The body must be made of high resistance metals, such as nickel and chrome alloys. Copper is only used for making the connecting leads of a resistor.
What is the electrical resistance of a penny?
The electrical resistance of a penny can vary based on its composition and condition, but a typical copper penny (post-1982) has a resistance of about 1 to 2 ohms. This value can change due to factors like oxidation, surface condition, and temperature. Generally, the resistance is low due to copper's excellent conductivity.
The properties of a wire that would create the least resistance to electron flow?
Generally a larger diameter copper wire would create the least resistance to electron flow. Copper is the most conductive and is widely used.
Does aluminum have lower resistance than copper?
No, aluminum has a higher resistance than copper.
What copper wire would have the highest resistance?
A thicker copper wire will have higher resistance as it will offer more opposition to the flow of electrons compared to a thinner wire. Additionally, a longer copper wire will have higher resistance compared to a shorter wire due to increased distance for the electrons to travel. Finally, a copper wire with impurities or defects will have higher resistance than a pure copper wire.
What material has the lowest resistance plastic copper or wood?
Copper has the lowest resistance among plastic, copper, and wood materials. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity compared to plastic and wood, which have higher resistance due to their insulating properties.
Why are alloys constantan and Manganin used to make standard resistors?
Constantan and Manganin have low temperature coefficients of resistance, meaning their resistance remains relatively stable over a wide range of temperatures. This makes them ideal for use in standard resistors where a consistent and precise resistance value is required. Additionally, both alloys have high resistivity, which allows for the creation of resistors with higher resistance values in a compact size.

What has the lowest resistance copper wire or iron wire?

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.
Why is copper wire not used in potentiometer?
Copper wire is not used in potentiometers because copper is highly conductive and would not provide enough resistance for the potentiometer to function properly. Instead, materials with higher resistance, such as nichrome or a graphite-based material, are used to create the variable resistance needed in a potentiometer.
What are factors that affect resistance of electricity?
Factors that affect resistance of electricity include the type of material the wire is made of (e.g. copper vs. aluminum), the length of the wire (longer wires have higher resistance), and the cross-sectional area of the wire (thicker wires have lower resistance). Temperature also affects resistance, with higher temperatures typically leading to higher resistance.
Do all conductors have resistance?
Yes, all conductors have resistance to some degree. Resistance is a property of materials that impedes the flow of electric current. However, some materials have lower resistance (e.g., copper) while others have higher resistance (e.g., rubber).
Transformer with aluminium coils or cooper?
Copper is typically preferred over aluminium for transformer coils due to its higher electrical conductivity and better heat resistance, leading to improved efficiency and reliability. While aluminium is cheaper and lighter than copper, it has higher resistance and can result in higher losses and lower efficiency in transformers.
If a certain voltage is applied to a copper wire and to a germanium wire of the same thickness and length how will the current in the two wires compare?
The current in the copper wire will be higher than the current in the germanium wire. This is because copper has lower resistance compared to germanium, allowing more current to flow for a given voltage. Germanium has higher resistance due to its crystal structure, which hinders current flow.
