Silver and gold are transition metals that conduct electricity even better than copperWhy do you use copper to make electric cables instead of either of these metals?

Gold does not conduct electricity better then copper. Companies will place ends of connectors just so they can raise the price of the cable. Money, my friend. In fact there are some audio conectors which use gold to improve the sound quality, but they are much more expensive than the standard ones.
