Keep in mind that gold is a conductor of electricity.

Some electrical conductivities

MaterialElectrical Conductivity

(S·m-1)

Notes
Silver 6.30 × 107 Best electrical conductor of any known metal
Copper 5.69 × 107 Commonly used in electrical wire applications due to very good conductivity and price compared to silver.
Annealed Copper 5.80 × 107 Referred to as 100% IACS or International Annealed Copper Standard. The unit for expressing the conductivity of nonmagnetic materials by testing using the eddy-current method. Generally used for temper and alloy verification of aluminium.
Gold 4.52 × 107 Gold is commonly used in electrical contacts because it does not easily corrode.
Aluminium 3.5 × 107 Commonly used for high voltage electricity distribution cables[citation needed]
Sea water 4.8 Corresponds to an average salinity of 35 g/kg at 20 °C.[1]
Drinking water 0.0005 to 0.05 This value range is typical of high quality drinking water and not an indicator of water quality
Deionized water 5.5 × 10-6 Conductivity is lowest with monoatomic gases present; changes to 1.2 × 10-4 upon complete de-gassing, or to 7.5 × 10-5 upon equilibration to the atmosphere due to dissolved CO2 [2]
Jet A-1 Kerosene 50 to 450 × 10-12 [3]
n-hexane 100 × 10-12
Air 0.3 to 0.8 × 10-14 [4]
