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.

Why do they use copper wire for wind turbine generators?
Because copper makes the best conductors - Snakester1962 (Supervisor)
How does 3 wire and 4 wire system differs?
If you are referring to a.c. three-phase systems, then a three-wire system is associated with a delta-connected system, while a four-wire system is associated with a star, or wye, system. The conductors being three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
Why do electric circuits need to use conductors?
Without conductors, electrons do not flow where you want them to flow. An electrical circuit is a flow of electrons.
How do you size the conductors feeding an electric crane?
Current draw and length.
Is three phase transmission line is example of bundle conductor?
'Bundled' conductors describe a line in which two or more conductors are supported from the same insulator chain. In the UK, 275-kV transmission lines typically use two conductors per line, and 400-kV transmission lines typically use four conductors per line. The purpose of bundling conductors is to spread the electric stress on the conductors (e.g. for four conductors, the same amount of electric flux will be 'shared' between the four conductors, rather than concentrated on the surface of one conductor).
What is a wire used for in electric?
Wires are used as electricity conductors.
What group of metals are the best conductors of heat and electric current?
all metals are good conductors of heat and electric currents
What is the wire that runs from the electric meter to the breaker box called?
Service Entrance Conductors.
What are the best metal electric conductors?
copper is the best electrical conductivity
What substances are the best conductors batteries or wire?
i think wire, but I'm not completeley sure.
5 good conductors of heat and what its used for?
cooper, gold, aluminum, silver and iron are 5 good conductors of heat. cooper is used in electric wire
Are bad conductors of electricity used to cover electrical wires?
No, materials with a high insulation value factor are used to cover electrical wire to provide a barrier from the wire shorting out to ground. By using the term "bad conductors" states that there is conductivity to a degree.
What materials that carry electric change easily?
Metals, gold is one of the best conductors.
What is the use of the electric wire?
Electric wires are used as conductors, to conduct an electrical current. The practical use of this is either to transport energy from one part to another, or to transport signals.
A material that current can pass through easily?
A material that passes current easily is called a conductor. The best conductors are metals.
Copper wire why is metal used?
Because it is a great conductor of electric and cheaper then platinum or Gold or Silver which are much better conductors to cost prohibitive
Is a copper wire an insulator or conductor?
Conductor, it is actually one of the best conductors for both heat and electricity.
