The best conductor of electricity is copper wire. Silver is a better conductor than copper, look up basic data. But silver is not practicable for widespread use, copper is nearly as good and more practicable for engineering use as well as cost.

Will silver react to electricity?
Silver is a conductor, so it will conduct electricity. If exposed to much electricity, than silver wire will melt/deform.
Is wire an insulator or conductor?
A metal wire is a conductor. It is the plastic layer round the wire that is an insulator.
Is a copper wire a insulator or conductor?
conductor
What materials is a good conductor of electricity rubber silver glass plastic?
Copper and silver are good conductors as both are metals.
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.
Is water a better conductor of electricity then silver?
no, water is NOT a better conductor of electricity then silver
Is silver a better conductor than gold?
Yes,Silver is a better conductor than gold
What is the best electricial conductor?
the_best_is_silver">the best is silver-----Silver is better than copper which is better than gold which is better than aluminum.The absolute best would be a super-conductor at a temperature of absolute zero.
Silver or aluminum best heat conductor?
Silver is a better heat conductor.
Which is a better conductor of heat air or a copper wire?
A copper wire is a much better conductor of heat than air is.
If silver is a better conductor than copper then why is copper wire used in daily life instead of silver wire?
The price of copper today is $3.43 a pound. The price of silver today is $12.90 an ounce. Copper is much cheaper.
What type of metal is the best electrical conductor but is not used in wire?
silver
Is silver an electrical conductor?
Silver is very good conductor of electricity. It is better electrical conductor than copper. Silver is not commonly used as it is much expensive element.
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 stranded copper wire a better conductor than solid copper wire?
no
Why is copper the most used wire?
Because it has good conductivity, was cheap and easy to use.Because out of all the metals copper is the best conductor, apart from silver which is slightly better as a conductor but too expensive to use.
Which metals are the best conductor of electric?
If the volume and length of the wire are constant, then silver. If the weight and length of the wire are constant, then sodium is the best conductor.
