At room temperature, both silver and copper are better electrical conductors than gold.
At low temperatures (i.e. close to absolute zero), it's a very different story - many of the metallic elements, all the metalloids and many of the non-metals on the Periodic Table become superconductors and therefore have zero resistance. In all, 54 elements display superconductivity, although some require high pressure and low temperature.
Strangely, Gold, silver and copper do not become superconductors under any conditions that have been attempted to date.
What else can I help you with?
What conducts electricity better germanium aluminum or helium?
Germanium conducts electricity better than aluminum or helium. Germanium is a semiconductor material with moderate conductivity, while aluminum is a metal with higher conductivity. Helium is a non-metal and is a poor conductor of electricity.
Is gold a better conductor than steel?
No, gold is not a better conductor than steel. Steel is a poorer conductor of electricity compared to gold. Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity due to its high conductivity and low resistance.
What is an object that conducts electricity better than insulators but not as well as conductors?
Semiconductors are materials that conduct electricity better than insulators but not as well as conductors. They have properties that allow them to be used in electronic devices to control the flow of electrical currents.
Does gold conduct electricity well how well?
Yes, gold does conduct electricity. As a metal, it conducts it quite well. The electrical conductivity of a material is expressed in units of siemens per metre (S·m-1). The electrical conductivity of gold is 45.2 × 106 S·m-1 which is not as good as silver (63 × 106 S·m-1) or copper (59.6 × 106 S·m-1), but better than aluminum (37.8 × 106 S·m-1). All of these are orders of magnitude better than poor conductors like water, for example gold is about 10 million times better than sea water (4.8 S·m-1).Although gold is a better conductor than aluminum by about 20%, it is over 7 times as dense, so an aluminum wire is going to conduct almost 6 times better than the same weight of gold wire.The real advantage of gold is that it resists corrosion and so does not become coated in poor conducting corrosion products, like copper tends to. That is why gold has seen so much use in electrical contacts.
Is a penny a insulator or an conducter?
A penny is a conductor because it allows electricity to flow through it due to its metal properties. This means that it conducts electricity rather than insulates it.
What conducts electricity better than metals?
Silver
What metal conducts electricity and heat?
all of them, some better than others. Copper, silver, gold, iron, all can conduct both heat and electricity.
What metal conducts electricity better than copper?
Silver
What property of gold and copper makes them useful in computer parts?
Gold conducts electricity well and also copper but it's cheaper than gold.
Does copper conduct electricity better than stainless steel?
Yes. At normal temperatures copper conducts electricity better than almost any other metal; silver is slightly better.
At room temperature what element conducts electricity better than any other?
Silver (Ag).
What conducts electricity better germanium aluminum or helium?
Germanium conducts electricity better than aluminum or helium. Germanium is a semiconductor material with moderate conductivity, while aluminum is a metal with higher conductivity. Helium is a non-metal and is a poor conductor of electricity.
Is gold or copper the first best conductor of electricity?
Copper is a better conductor of electricity than gold.
Is gold a better conductor than steel?
No, gold is not a better conductor than steel. Steel is a poorer conductor of electricity compared to gold. Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity due to its high conductivity and low resistance.
Does iron conduct electricity better than better than steel?
Yes, pure iron generally conducts electricity better than steel because steel is an alloy that contains iron and carbon. The carbon in steel can reduce its electrical conductivity compared to pure iron.
Is cloth a good conductor of electricity?
No cloth is not a conductor of electricity .It is an insulainsulator
What conducts electricity other than metal?
carbon is not a metal and can conduct electricity
