Metals conduct heat and electricity best. Among metals the softer (less dense) metals such as aluminum, copper, silver, etc. We use copper wire to deliver electricity to an incandescent light but tungsten for the filament. Other things affect the heating effect, but the resistance of the tungsten.

Would you expect cardboard to conduct electricity?

No, I wouldn't. It is more like a insulator, not a conductor. Silver conducts electricity the best. If a current were put through cardboard, it would most likely catch on fire, not conduct electricity.

Can energy conduct electricity?

Yes, Air can conduct electricity. There are a lot of conditions to it. An classical example would be lightening. Where the Current, or technically, the electrons flow between the clouds to the Ground. Every elements to an extent conduct electricity, what is more important is the amount of resistance they offer to conduct electricity. But when the Voltage or the pressure for the current to flow, the resistance does break down and allows the current to flow. Search for the term called Break down voltage. Its better to read a nice article rather to look for full explaination here..


Is key and conductor of electricity?

A key is typically not a conductor of electricity on its own. However, if the key is made of a metal such as copper or aluminum, which are good conductors of electricity, then it can conduct electricity. The key would need to be part of a circuit for it to conduct electricity.
