Silver is a good conductor of electricity like many other metals because the atoms that make up a piece of silver will have many free electrons that can be moved by applying voltage across it. These moving electrons are known as an electric current and they are necessary for making electrical and electronic equipment work correctly. Due to the lower cost of copper compared to silver, many circuits make use of copper instead, but if it was cheaper silver would probably be used.
