There are three types of spark plug – iridium, platinum/rhodium, and copper – and all work in the same way, so what makes them different?

There are three types of spark plug – iridium, platinum/rhodium, and copper – and all work in the same way, so talking about the difference between iridium and ‘normal’ spark plugs is somewhat misleading. The only real difference is the metal used to create the central electrode.
