Excessive heat can cause copper wires to become brittle and lose their ability to conduct electricity effectively. It can also degrade the insulation surrounding the wires, leading to potential short circuits or electrical fires. Heat can also cause the copper wires to expand, potentially compromising the connections within electrical components.
Plastic or rubber is used as insulation around electrical wires, keeping them from contacting other parts of a circuit, and from grounding out to conductive materials. Where insulation is removed or damaged, a spark or short could cause fires or other damage.
Lamp wires are typically made of copper or copper alloy, known for their excellent conductivity and durability. These wires are insulated with materials such as PVC, rubber, or cloth to protect against electrical shocks and damage.
Green goo on light switch wires can be caused by oxidation of the copper wires due to moisture exposure or faulty insulation. This can lead to corrosion and the formation of green copper oxide on the wires, which can then spread to the surrounding area. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent electrical problems.
No, overhead primary wires have no insulation on them and they carry the electricity to the consumers very well. Wires with no insulation on them just need more clearance space around them and between them to prevent the wires from short circuiting to each other or to ground.
I think copper is cheaper.
Insulation covers the copper wires that carry electricity to prevent shorting or electrocution. Without insulation, the bare wires could cause an electrical fire, or an electric shock, possibly resulting in death.
Mainly all telephone wires are made of copper with a plastic coating for insulation. Older form of telephone wire had a paper or pulp insulation over the copper wire. They are also a twisted pair cable.
Copper wires are wrapped in plastic to provide insulation and protection against moisture and other potential damage. The plastic coating helps to prevent short circuits and ensures the proper flow of electricity through the wire.

Copper is : a good conductor, easy to work, and relatively cheap. And you use the insulation to help avoid shorts.

There is probably worn plastic insulation on a wire exposing the copper conductor. This can be hard to find. Check all wires for circuit in question looking for exposed wire/ worn insulation.
The wires for the fog lights and speedometer are probably rubbing together somewhere behind the dash, the insulation is most likely worn on both the wires. I t will cause a short if it continues. Check the wires for worn insulation.
The insides of plug wires are made with carbon. bent to tight or handled ruff will cause the carbon to brake & you have a bad wire. that will cause a miss. Old wires or wires to close to exhaust will cause outside insulation to burn or get hard.
