Because after the plug is plugged in, there has to be some way of conducting the power away. That is achieved by cable or flex, using copper wires that are insulated for safety and other reasons.
1.5 mm2 twin and earth cable is rated at 15 amps provided it is uncoiled and has reasonable ventilation to carry any heat away.
500 MCM can carry 380 Amps at 75 degrees C.
Most likely insulated copper.
depends how thick it is

MIMS = Mineral Insulated Metal Sheathed Cable, It is an electrical cable resistant to fire etc. Basically copper cores in a metal tube, filled with magnesium oxide powder as insulation. Very similar to MICC but with other metals instead of a copper sheath.
depends on the grade and type of scrap copper. for example do you have insulated cable, stripped copper wire, buss bar, etc. No. 1 heavy scrap copper is around $3.00 per pound (lb)

Yes, of course they are insulated. If they were not the signals would short out and be unusable. If electric power cords were not insulated they would short out and blow the breaker (or worse start a fire)!
Paper Insulated Lead Sheathed Cable. Used for medium voltage levels.
Copper is a better conductor by weight, but aluminum is better by weight, so the copper will be thinner but heavier. You will see that a 250 kcmil aluminium wire will get you 170 amps at 60 degC while a 000 (or 3/0) copper wire will get you 165 amps at 60 degC. I think you mean circular mils, not square millimeters.
