Resistance is a measure of how well a material conducts an electric charge. Would you expect to find a high or low, level of resistance in a copper wire and why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Copper is a metal. Metals are good conductors of electric current, as their molecular composition consists positive ions surrounded by delocalised electrons, if not mistaking it. When the material is opposed, electrons, which have high kinetic energy suffer less friction, thus creating current. Thus, the resistance will be low.
