Out of silver copper and gold which is the best for electrical wires?
Copper is the best material for electrical wires due to its high electrical conductivity and low resistance, which allows for efficient transmission of electricity. Silver is slightly more conductive than copper but is much more expensive, while gold, while highly conductive, is even more expensive and less practical for everyday use.
Does steel copper brass aluminum or nickel melt the fastest?
I would think heat conveys much like electricity, the greater the number of "free' electrons the less resistance to the heat , therefore copper would be faster then the other three choices.
What material conduct the most electricity?
Superconductors are materials that offer no electrical resistance whatsoever but the highest temperature any known superconductor can be while retaining its conductive properties is -181 degrees Celsius, making them an extremely impractical and expensive material for most purposes. As far as I know the most conductive material at room temperature is pure silver, which is slightly more conductive then pure copper and 50% more conductive then pure gold. Copper and gold are both used commonly for conduction however because copper is much cheaper then silver and nearly as conductive, and gold is more resistant to corrosion then either silver or copper despite its reduced capacity for electrical conduction.
Is copper non-metal?
It is very much a metal.
Why does copper conduct heat better than steel or brass?
Copper has a higher thermal conductivity than steel or brass due to its atomic structure. Copper's free electrons can move more easily, facilitating the transfer of heat energy. In contrast, steel and brass have fewer free electrons, causing them to be less efficient at conducting heat.
How much more thermally conductive are copper pots and pans compared to aluminum or stainless steel?
Copper is amongst the most thermally conductive material on the market. In most cases, copper is too hot for most cooking purposes, which is why aluminum and stainless steel are more popular.
What does the electrical term - copper clad - signify?
It is much like electroplating. To make something more conductive it is given a coating or cladding of another more conductive element. Take copper clad ground rods. The original ground rod is just a steel rod. To make is more conductive a coating of copper is plated to it. This now enhances the steel ground rod buy improving its conductivity with the soil around it and secondly giving it an anti rust covering that will last the life of the ground rod.

Which is worth more steel or copper?
The value of steel and copper can vary based on market demand and availability. Generally, copper is worth more than steel due to its higher conductivity and various industrial applications. However, the price can fluctuate, so it's important to check current market prices.
How much better is the thermal conductivity of a copper pot compared to a steel pot?
Copper is a much better conductor of heat than steel. This is why stainless steel cookware is clad in copper; it gets the heat in more effectively. Regarding a copper pot compared to a steel pot - I don't think anyone makes solid copper cookware. It leave a strange metallic taste in the mouth.
Is the body more conductive than metal?
No, metal is generally more conductive than the human body. Metals such as copper and aluminum have much higher conductivity compared to the human body, which means they can more easily carry electric current.
Why stainless steel cookware have a layer of copper and aluminium on the bottom?
The layers at the bottom of stainless steel cookware provides better heat conduction (heat spread evenly) and durability. Aluminium-base takes longer time to heat up but retains cooking temperature longer while copper-base is quickly in heating up and cooling down.

What materials make good electrical conductors?

What is the difference between carbon steel and copper?
Carbon Steel is much stronger metal.
Why is copper a better conductor than steel?
Only at low temperatures, at higher temperatures copper wouldn't be a better heat conductor than steel. The spring force is much tighter in the steel because its melting point is much higher, but at low temperatures its because it models something, like a rollercoaster, but no. Also Copper is more magnetic with its audience, which is the way. To test this out get some boiling water in a beaker and attach thermometer to the copper and steel and see which one heats up first.
