Quote: The most electrically conductive element is silver, followed by copper and gold. Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity of any element and the highest light reflectance. Although it is the best conductor, copper and gold are used more often in electrical applications because copper is less expensive and gold has a much higher corrosion resistance.
I wonder where this Professor got or decided to make this statemnet, I was taught in the 1970s/1980 in basic elctricity and electronic college classes that gold was best for conductivity and silver and copper where down the ladder 3 or 4 from gold I wonder what changed Not trying to hijack, clarification sometimes helps, sometimes hinders My main message is the path of electron flow from the battery is out the negative side of the battery so that side, path, is really important to get right
I wonder what changed
