Gold doesn't oxidize or corrode no matter what. Tha makes it a good choice when reilability of an electrical connection is more important than the cost.

Why gold and copper are good conductors of an electrical current?
Yo, These 3 are the best First = Silver (Ag) Second= Copper (Cu) Third = Gold (Au)
Does duct tape conduct electricity?
Yes. It should not be used where there is any danger to electrical leakage. Definitely not on 110/220 VAC lines.
Can diode work on ac power supply?
diodes conduct electricity in only one direction but as ac change direction in each of its cycle diodes can only conduct half of its cycle which will give u a pulsating dc. but if dc is mixed with ac and if it can put whole of its cycle in positive direction diode can conduct ac. so diodes are usually used to produce dc from ac.
Why dont the electrical power lines trip when it rains if rain is a conductor of electricity?
Water is a very poor conductor of electricity and even if it has enough solutes in it to conduct electricity then it will still have a high resistance.If rainwater were to conduct the electricity then that water would heat up and evaporate almost instantly.But you need to remember that it would need a continuous channel of water to conduct electricity and the surface tension of water makes this unlikely to happen.Additional AnswerOverhead conductors are supported using insulators, the shape of which is designed to (a) shed water, and (b) to provide a long conducting path for any moisture between the top of the insulator and the bottom. For high-voltage lines, several insulators may be used in the form of 'strings', providing a sufficiently-long conducting path for any moisture path to have a sufficiently high resistance to prevent conduction.
What does the spinning wheel in an electric meter mean?
The spinning wheel spins when electricity is used in the house and the more electricity that is used the faster it will spin. The number of rotations is used to count how much electricity has been used.
What is a metal that is often used in wires that conduct electricity?
Copper, and to a lesser extent gold, are used in conductors.
Why can't glass conduct electricity?
Everything can conduct electricity. However, glass can only conduct electricity on a very small scale, so it cannot be used to conduct enough electricity to run anything electrical.
Why are non reactive metals used for jewelry?
Because they do not conduct electricity <><><> Sorry- above answer is DANGEROUSLY incorrect- ALL metals conduct electricity- gold and silver especially. However, non-reactive metals do not tarnish or rust- they stay pretty.
What is bronze use of?
it is used to conduct electricity
Does satin conduct electricity?
Silk, yarn and many other threads used in a satin weave do not generally conduct electricity.
What are some materials that conduct?
Some materials that conduct include gold, wood, steel, water, and even copper. Most metals conduct well and are used to carry heat or electricity. Aluminum is another metal that conducts well.
How can gold be used?
gold has been used from forgin the base of a nations currency to jewelry and now more into high technology parts to conduct electricity in circuits, processors, chips and even as far into orbit in sattelites.
What properties do copper gold and silver have in common?
They are all non-ferrous metals, they are not magnetic, and they are also highly conductive and can also be used to conduct electricity.
Does a pencil conduct electricity?
Yes the center carbon or lead can conduct electricity. The carbon in the pencil is also used in resistors for resistance in a circuit.
What is quartz mostly used in?
It is used to conduct electricity and mostly used in electrical appliances
Would a silver coin conduct electricey what kind of bonds does silver have?
Yes a silver coin can conduct electricity, Silver is one of the most commonly used to conduct electricity. Yes, silver is a very good conductor of electricity
Metal that is often used in wires that conduct electricity?
i was thinking copper
