Keep in mind that gold is a conductor of electricity.
Some electrical conductivities
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] |
