An element that is metallic will conduct electricity best. The conduction of metals vary widely depending on the element. Although expensive, silver is the best conductive metal. Due to cost, the most common conductors are made of copper or aluminum.

It has been discovered that various forms of carbon crystals are metallic, including graphene (the ideal planar form of graphite) and some forms of carbon nanotubes.

In theory, metallic nanotubes can carry an electrical current density of 4 × 109 A/cm2 which is more than 1,000 times greater than metals such as copper. There are no commercial nanotube products that can conduct electricity over significant distances, but research is advancing rapidly.

The government has set ambitious targets to increase the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix in the coming years.


Does electricity bills come with rent?

Electricity bills may or may not be included in rent, depending on the rental agreement. Some landlords include utilities such as electricity in the rent, while others require tenants to set up and pay for their own electricity. It's important to clarify this with your landlord before signing a lease.


What is the difference between static electricity and electricity?

The electricity is build up when electrons (negative charged particles of an atom) move in a conductor (eg. metal, wire, water) in a closed loop. This is also known as current. Just like water flow in a set of pipes. Static electricity is somehow the contrary. Static electricity is all about charges which are not free to move. This causes them to build up in one place and it often ends with a spark or a shock when they finally do move.
