Question

why are conducting wires used in electric circuits made of copper?

Answer 1

Since copper is a very good conductor of heat, copper is used to make wires.

Answer 2

${\huge\boxed { \sf{ \red{Answer}}}}$

The lower the level of resistivity, the more electrical conductivity a metal has. Copper has low resistivity, and therefore is an excellent conductor. Copper is also less oxidative than other metals.
