Resistance is a measure of how a material conducts an electric charge. It is a quantity that measures how well a material would reduce the current that flow through it. So, for a copper wire, you would expect it to have a low resistance since it conducts electric charge very well. It is known to be a good conductor. It has a high electrical conductivity and low resistance.
