Question

Name two metals that are the best conductor of electricity.


Open in App
Solution

  • Metals are known to be good conductors of electricity which means that metals allow electricity to pass through them easily.
  • Metals contain free electrons. When electricity is passed through them the electrons attain mobility.

Copper (Cu) and Aluminum (Al) are the two metals that are good conductors of electricity because they offer little resistance to the flow of electric current, so they have high electrical conductivity.

  • As they are good conductors of electricity they can be used for making electric cables and electric wires.
