The related link lists all of the elements of the Periodic Table, by electrical conductivity. The top of the list is the worst conductor (Sulfur). The most conductive is silver. The second most conductive metal is copper. Due to expense of silver, copper is preferred. Aluminum is commonly used due to weight factor and cost. (even though a thicker wire is necessary to carry the same current).
Gold, while more expensive and less conductive than copper, is resistant to corrosion, and is very ductile.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of material are in most conductors?
Most conductors contain metals. These provide the free electrons, which can pass a current.
Why are metals good conductors of electrcity while rubber and plastic are insulators?
the reason metals are good conductors is because in their subatomic structure electrons float as if in a sea, also called a sea of electrons that is why you can magnetize most metals and they conduct electricity.
What items are conductors?
A conductor is simply a material that allows electrical energy to pass through it these tend to be metals or molten metal ions.
