Copper offers a good combination of good conductivity and fairly low cost. Special metal platings offer better corrosion protection if acids or other liquids might be present.

Is phosphoric acid a good conductor?
It is a conductor, and is used in some batteries. Saying it is a good conductor might be a stretch though, seeing as almost all metals would be considered better conductors.
Why is silicon a good conductor of electricity?
Silicon is not a good conductor. It is a semiconductor.
Is 'dirty water' a good conductor or insulator?
yes water is a good conductor
Is lampblack good conductor of electricity?
Yes, it is a good conductor of electricity.
Is cermaic a good conductor?
No. Ceramic is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Is acid good conductor of electricity?

Is air a good conductor of electricity?
Air is a relatively-very-poor electrical conductor. If it were any good as a conductor,then you would need to keep your spare batteries in vacuum containers, to preventtheir becoming discharged through the air between their terminals.
What are the functions of batteries?
to make a machine move without using a conductor
Is Magnesium Chloride a good conductor?
Magnesium chloride is a good conductor if melted or dissolved in an ionization promoting solvent; as a solid it is not a good conductor.
Is a potato an insulator?
Potato is also used for making batteries. So obviously, it is a good conductor.
The difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
A good insulator means a bad conductor. It is the opposite of good conductor.
Does carbon have good conductivity?
yes because that is why batteries contain carbon
Is graphite a giant metallic?
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon and is semi metallic. It is a very good conductor of electricity and is also used for steel making, in batteries, brake lining and in pencils.
Why is a metal spoon a conductor why?
Depending on what type of metal the spoon is made out of it is a conductor of electricity. To make the spoon magnetic you would have to constantly charge the spoon with electricity to magnetize the metal base, IE:a nail with a wire coiled around it and charged with two D batteries. All you have to do is coil a wire around the spoon base and connect both ends of the wire(BRASS) to two D batteries and you should have a small electro magnet.
Is silver a conductor or a insulator?
it is a conductor as all other metals and the gold is also good conductor as silver!!!
