Yo, These 3 are the best
First = Silver (Ag)
Second= Copper (Cu)
Third = Gold (Au)

∙ 9y agoCopper is a metal that is a good conductor of electricity. That is one reason that it is used for electrical wiring. Copper is also a good thermal conductor.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoYes it can conduct electricity. It's the second best conductor of electricity after Silver. Almost all of the electrical wires are made of copper.
Yes it can
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoVery much so. Copper wire has a low resistance to electricity and makes an excellent conductor.

∙ 13y agoHi
Gold an copper are good conductors of electricity because their electrons have a free movement. Copper is one of the best and cheapest conductor of electricity.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoCopper is a good conductor, not an insulator. It is used to conduct electricity. It is insulated with a covering so it does not come in contact with other conductors and short out.

∙ 11y agoSilver is the better conductor of the two elements, in fact it is the best. Gold comes in after copper and before aluminium.

What metals is the best electrical conductor but isnt used in wire because of its extremely high cost?
(A. Copper) The right answer is C. Silver
What are the best conductors for an electric wire?
Silver, if cost is no problem. For reasonably priced wires that are readily available, copper. Aluminum is by far the poorer conductor in use today.
What is an electrical conductor and an electrical semiconductor?
Conductors are substances that allow flow of electricity through them. Although some electricity is lost in the form of heat, yet is negligible. Eg: silver gold copper iron Semiconductors are elements that allow electricity partially. For example they allow 50 percent and stops the rest. Eg: silicon germanium
What makes a good electrical conductor?
number of electrons capable of freely moving in the outermost shell of an element. eg. Copper
Electrical conductivity of copper?
Copper in one of the most electrically conductive of substances. Few materials have more conductivity. These include platinum, gold, and silver.
Is gold and copper good conductors of an electrical current?
Yes.
What carries electric current easily?
Otherwise known as good electrical conductors. Metals are very good, such as gold, copper and silver.
What are some good electrical conductors?
Some examples of conductors are gold, silver, aluminum and copper
Which materials are the best electrical conductors?
Metals are the best conductors, Copper, Silver, and Gold for example.
List of good and bad conductor of electricity?
Good conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons. Some common good conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver.Bad conductors (or insulators) oppose electrical current and make poor conductors. Some common insulators or bad conductors are glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.Conductors have a very low resistance to electrical current while insulators or bad conductors have a very high resistance to electrical current.
What are metals good electrical conductors?
Silver and Copper are the best and after them is gold and aluminum
What do you understand by poor conductors?
Something that does not let current flow. Gold and copper are conductors but wood and rubber are not.
Do electron charges move easily through most electrical conductors?
A conductor, by definition, allows electrical current flow. Some better than others, gold better than copper, copper better than aluminum, etc.
Why are metals good conducters of electrical current?
Metals are good conductors of electrical current because of their atomic structure. The electrons in their outer shell are easily moved because there is a free flow of shared electrons, thus causing an electric current. Some of the best metallic conductors are copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and gold (Au).
What element is an electrical conductor and heat conductor?
Examples of very good conductors are: gold, silver, copper, aluminium, etc.
Are good conductors of heat also good conductors of electricity?
Aluminum and copper are excellent conductors of electricity. Chlorine is a good one when bonded to Hydrogen in acid form. The useful for electrical wiring are Copper, silver, and gold.
Is there gold in old electrical junction boxes?
No. There is no gold in electrical junction boxes. If there was there would be many rich electricians.
