Silver has a resistance of 1.59x10(-8). Copper has a resistance of 1.72 x 10(-8) Gold has a resistance of 2.44 x 10(-8) Aluminum has a resistance of 2.82 x 10(-8). So the best is Silver then Copper, then Gold, and last Aluminum. (5/07/09)

Can silver be used to make electrical wires?
Silver is used as a low resistance conductive material. Contactors and relays contact points are made of copper and are silver plated to obtain the lowest resistance between the moving contact faces.
What are examples of good conductors of heat?
In general, metals conduct heat well. Silver, copper, gold and aluminum are among the best. Oddly, carbon in its diamond allotrope is the best conductor of heat we know of.
Which is an example of a conductor?
Pretty much any metal will conduct electricity. Some common examples are copper, gold, iron, silver, aluminum, lead, etc.This also includes humans.See the Related Questions for the best ones.

What does a alloy contain?
An alloy is a metal that has been mixed with another metal. Aluminum alloys could contain zinc, copper, or silicon (not limited to). Gold alloys can contain copper or silver. Aluminum alloy is created to be stronger and more corrosion resistant than plain aluminum. Gold alloy is created to be cheaper. Many more alloys exist.
Silver or aluminum best heat conductor?
Silver is a better heat conductor.
Which is a better conductor tungsten copper silicon or silver?
Of course, gold and silver, platinum. Even copper and aluminum alloys have better conductivity.
Is ferous metal good conductor of electrical?
A *ferrous* metal is a good conductor, but not as good as copper, silver or aluminum.
What is the best conductor for electrical currents?
Best for what - gold, silver, copper, and aluminum all have advantages.
Which one of these is not a good conductor of heat aluminum air copper or silver?
i think copper is
What the best conductor?
copper and platinum 2nd answer: Woops! Try silver, gold, then copper, in that order. Aluminum is also a good conductor.
Which is the best conductor among these gold silver copper or aluminum?
Silver is, then copper, then gold, and then aluminum. Copper is used for wiring because it is cheaper than silver. Aluminum is not used very much anymore because it can be dangerous when installed improperly.
What is good conductor material for signal?
rocks,aluminum,gold,silver,copperfrom,T.N.gold,silver,copper
Do they use silver and silicon in the computer chip and if so why?
silver? I can't think of any use. conductors on chip are usually aluminum, polycrystalline silicon, or copper. bond wires are usually aluminum or gold. gold bond wires on aluminum pads are sometimes unreliable because of formation of "purple plague" in the weld causing high resistance and sometimes intermittent connections. silicon? that is the semiconductor used to construct all the components.
Which is the best conductor?
copper and platinum 2nd answer: Woops! Try silver, gold, then copper, in that order. Aluminum is also a good conductor.
Is is silver a better conductor than copper?
Silver is the best conducting metal, both thermally and electrically. It is followed by Copper, then Gold, then Aluminum.
What matrial is a good electrical conductor?
Silver is the best electrical conductor. Copper is second. Gold is third. Aluminum is a good conductor but not for house wiring. It is used for high tension wires.
