Is copper or silver a better conductor of electricity?
Silver is a better conductor than copper, but copper is more commonly used because it is cheaper and isn't as easily tarnished.
What is a better conductor of electricity copper or gold?
Copper is a better conductor of electricity, second only to silver. However, copper will tarnish (oxidize) over time and lose some of its conductivity, while gold will not.
Is silver an electrical conductor?
Silver is very good conductor of electricity. It is better electrical conductor than copper. Silver is not commonly used as it is much expensive element.
Can you list the 10 best metals at conducting electricity and heat?
Silver or Argentum (Ag)The best conductor of heat and electricity is silver.
Does copper conduct electricity better than gold?
Yes, it does! Pure copper is a much better electrical conductor at normal operating conditions. Gold plating is used in electronics and cables because of it's corrosion resistance. I'm not really sure why though. Silver is cheaper than gold, and oxides to silver oxide, which is still a better conductor than gold. pure silver is the best naturally occurring conductor, followed by copper followed (not very closely) by gold.
Is copper or silver a better conductor of electricity?

Is silver an electrical conductor?
Silver is very good conductor of electricity. It is better electrical conductor than copper. Silver is not commonly used as it is much expensive element.
Is silver wire a better conductor?
The best conductor of electricity is copper wire. Silver is a better conductor than copper, look up basic data. But silver is not practicable for widespread use, copper is nearly as good and more practicable for engineering use as well as cost.
Is water a better conductor of electricity then silver?
no, water is NOT a better conductor of electricity then silver
What is a better conductor of electricity then copper?
A: Silver actually but not too desirable because it has the tendency to tarnish with oxygen
What are example of conductor of electricity?
iron, copper, silver
What are some interesting facts about copper?
Copper is a better conductor of heat and electricity than any other metal except silver
Is gold cunductor of heat or electricity?
Gold is a good thermal conductor (looks like only copper and silver are better - see engineeringtoolbox dot com) Gold is also a good electrical conductor. Copper and silver are a little better, though.
Which element would be the best conductor of electricity?
Silver is the best conductor of electricity, and as it is costly, copper is widely used.
Why is copper used in electircal wires?
Of all the metals copper is the best conductor of electricity apart from silver which is slightly better but a lot more expensive.
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)
