  • is copper a electrical conducter ?

  • cool

    

  • @SirRamboi This is going to take a bit of explaining. If you don't remove the insulation the copper wire will not be able to conduct electricity. When current flows through something like a wire, it creates a magnetic field around it. This magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet that is sittling on the battery in such a way that causes the coiled wire to spin. Thats the best I can do at explaining it.
