Best Answer

Gold, silver, and copper are a few. Anything with free electrons will conduct to one degree or another. An aluminum ladder placed against a power line will work very well too.

===============================================================

Silver is the best conductor. Copper is second. Gold is third. Aluminum is fourth, and is still good enough to be used in electric lines. Mercury is about half way down the list of elements, and is still good enough to be used in mercury switches.

Here is a list of conductors

  1. silver
  2. copper
  3. gold
  4. aluminum
  5. iron
  6. steel
  7. brass
  8. bronze
  9. mercury
  10. graphite
  11. dirty water
  12. concrete
