The answer is copper.
No, the answer is not always copper, it will depend on the purposes for which the wires are to be used!
Yes, copper is used a lot for electrical wiring but other metals are also used, such as tungsten for incandescent light bulb filaments.
Some other examples are: galvanised iron or steel wire is used for fences around gardens, etc. and if wires are used to make jewelry, they are often made of silver, gold or platinum.
Another answer
Depends on the purpose:
- for electric household wiring copper is used.
- for ultra high speed capacity internet communication wiring: glass fibre
Comment: Glass fiber is not made of metal, it is made of glass!
