Yes. At normal temperatures copper conducts electricity better than almost any other metal; silver is slightly better.

Will pencil lead conduct electricity?
Yes, Pencil Lead does conduct Electricity. Copper, Gold and Silver though are the best conductors.
Why gold and copper are good conductors of an electrical current?
Yo, These 3 are the best First = Silver (Ag) Second= Copper (Cu) Third = Gold (Au)
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.
Why is copper good for electrical wiring?
Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity. Among metals it is second only o silver, which is too expensive for practical use in wiring. Copper is also extremely ductile, meaning it can be easily drawn into wires without breaking.
What material is a good conductor and insulator?
All* materials conduct electricity. The question is exactly how much do they conduct. Materials such as metals, semiconductors, graphites, etc tend to conduct electricity better than others like plastic, paper, wood, etc due to loose valence electrons that allow electric current to flow through them. Good conductors will have a low electrical resistivity. The resistivity of some common resources are shown: Gold: 22 n Ω·m Copper: 17 n Ω·m Aluminium: 28 n Ω·m Silicon: 1000 Ω·m Quartz: 10^16 Ω·m Rubber: 10^13 Ω·m Note *: In 2008 scientists discovered a property called a superinsulation that in some materials at a very low temperature exhibit infinitely high resistance. Superinsulation is essentially the exact opposite of superconduction. It's mechanism is not very well understood and is an active area of research in condensed matter physics.
Why do quarters conduct electricity better than pennies?
quarters are made of steel, and pennies are made of copper. Copper doesn't conduct electricity
What is something shiny and conducts electricity well?
Copper, silver, stainless steel are some things that are shiny and conduct electricity.
Why do gold and copper conduct electricity better than carbon and iodine?
because they are metals
How much electricity can metal conduct?
It depends on the type of metal. The ability of a metal to conduct electricity is one trait that identifies a metal. For example, copper can conduct electricity very well (better than most metals).
Is brass a non conductive material?
No, it will conduct electricity. It contains copper, one of the better conductors.
Which Metal Doesn't Conduct Electricity?
think allof them do, just some of them are better conductors (like silver and copper), and some are worse.
Are all types of metal conductors?
All metals conduct heat and electricity. Some metals e.g., gold, copper conduct electricity better than others.
How do potaoes conduct electricity?
potatoes conduct electricity by the iron copper and liquids inside of them!!
Does copper sulfate conduct electricity?
Copper sulphate can conduct electricity. However, this will only happen when it is in liquid or gaseous state but not in solid form.
Does copper have the ability to conduct electricity?
of course
