Most conductive of sound waves would be Beryllium, on account of its Young's Modulus.
Most conductive of magnetism would be soft iron, because of its magnetic permeability.
The metal most conductive of electricity is silver, though there are things more conductive of both heat and electricity.
The most electrically conductive metal is silver.
But the second and best to use one is copper because silver is to expensive
and after copper comes aluminum so heres the full list
silver (very high conductivity)
copper(high conductivity)
aluminum (very good conductivity )
Silver is the best conductor of electricity among metals, followed by copper and gold. This is due to its high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity properties.
Silver is the best conductor of heat and electricity. It is also the most reflective of metals.
gold because silver does have a tendency to tarnish/corrode
Silver is the best -- its conductivity is 6.3 E7 Siemens/meter at room temperature.
The best conductor of transferring energy as heat is silver. Silver has the highest thermal conductivity of all metals, making it an excellent conductor of heat.
Silver is the best conductor of electricity due to its high conductivity, with the free movement of electrons allowing for efficient flow of electricity. However, silver is expensive, so copper is more commonly used in electrical wiring due to its good conductivity and lower cost.
Steel and copper are both metals, but copper is the best conductor.
No metal is semiconductor. By definition metal is conductor. There are metalloids elements. Like silicon and germanium. They are semiconductors. There is no hard and fast definition of such elements.
Metal is a conductor and the electricity will easily flow through it.
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
Silver is the best conductor
Metal
Silver is the best conductor out of the two.
Silver is the best conductor there is, no matter what it is made into.
Metals are indeed good conductors. Silver, which is a metal, is the best conductor.
Silver is the second best conductor of electricity after copper.
Silver is.
copper
Silver or Argentum (Ag)The best conductor of heat and electricity is silver.
It is made of metal because metal is the best conductor of heat.
Gold is the best heat conductor in the world.
