Basic: Calcium is a metal
More advance: Because when metals bond using metallic bonding they have positive ions in a "sea" of free electrons and these free electrons can carry the charge though the material.

∙ 6y agoBecause calcium is a metal, it has many of the properties of metals, one of which is that it is a good conductor of electricity. It ranks 6th in the list of best conductors with an electrical resistance of a tiny 33.6 micro-ohms per meter (at 20 degrees C).
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, it is a very good electric conductor.
It is also a good conductor for heat and a good insulator.

Why is calcium a good conductor?
Calcium is a chemical element with the symbol Ca. It is a good conductor because it is a metal, and all metals are good conductors.
Is calcium a good conductor of electricity and heat?
Yes, calcium is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most nonmetals are not good conductors of heat and electricity.
How do magnets magnetic fields electric currents and metals connect?
Well when an electric current flows through a conductor a magnetic field is produced. And a changing magnetic flux through a conductor produces a current in the conductor.
Is a silicon better conductor of an electric current than sulfur?
yes
How electric current causes magnetic field around conductor?
Electric current causes magnetic field around conductor by producing a moving electric charges and the intrinsic magnetic moments of an elementary particles that is associated with a fundamental quantum property.
When an electric charge moves through a conductor there is an electric in the conductor?
current
Why you get electric shock when current flows opposite direction in a conductor?
When current flows in a conductor you do not get an electric shock provided you do not touch the conductor.
Is a lightning rod an electric conductor or an insulator?
conductor
Why is calcium a good conductor?

Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
Can Magnetism cause an electric current to flow in a conductor?
Yes, a MOVING magnetic field will cause electric current to flow in a conductor. Conversely an electric current flowing in a conductor will cause a magnetic field.
Which would be an electric conductor?
Metals are good electric conductors.
