Electricity - Conductors and Insulators ... Although some are better than others, most metals are good conductors of electricity. Silver, Gold, and Platinum are very good conductors but are expensive, so they are not often used. Copper and Aluminum are reasonably good conductors and are fairly inexpensive.

Electrical conductors are any materials that offer little resistance to the flow of an electrical current. All materials conduct electricity to some extent. However, some are much better conductors than others.

* Most materials fall into two groups: conductors and insulators. * A conductor allows electrons to flow through it. * An insulator is a barrier to electricity. * An insulator may act as a store of electricity known as static electricity.
