Which vegetable is good for conducting electricity?

Usually copper wires are preferred as a conductor. Or some other metal.


Is aluminum a conductivity?

Yes due to the fact it is a metal and metals have delocalised (free) electrons which allow the electrons to move around the metal conducting heat and electricity easier than non metals


Is a paper folder a conductor of electricity?

Not every part of the stapler. Only the metal part is conducting. The top and bottom surfaces of a stapler are normally made of plastic or rubber, which are insulators. ===========================
