The best electrical conductor known is silver, not copper.
Electrical resistivity of silver: 1,59.10-8 ohm.m
Electrical resistivity of copper: 1,68.10-8 ohm.m
A good electrical conductor has a very low electrical resistivity and a high electrical conductivity (the same principles for the thermal conductivity).

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.
Is a copper wire a insulator or conductor?
conductor
Is a copper wire an insulator or conductor?
Conductor, it is actually one of the best conductors for both heat and electricity.
Is stranded copper wire a better conductor than solid copper wire?
no
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.
What material will allow electricity to flow between the battery and the lightbulb?
Yes, copper wire is a conductive element and is the most addiquite substance for distribution of electricity known.
Is a copper wire a nonmetal conductor?
Yes. It is a nonmetal conductor.
Is silver wire a better conductor?
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.
When current passes why copper wire does not get heated while the bulb gets heated?
copper wire is good conductor of heat but bulb is bad conductor of heat.
What is a example of a electrical conductor?
A copper wire would be an example of a conductor of electricity.
What is good conductor that you generally find in wire?
copper
Would a copper wire act as the best insulator of electric current?
no it is good conductor because it has free electrons
