About This Dataset
Metals With the Highest Electrical Conductivity
This chart ranks the ten metals that conduct electricity best, measured in megasiemens per metre at 20 degrees Celsius. Silver is the single best electrical conductor of any metal, followed closely by copper.
Analysis
Silver heads the table on 63, ahead of Copper (59.6) and Gold (41.1) in Electrical Conductivity (MS/m at 20C). 53.6 separates the highest figure (63) from the lowest (9.43). First and second are separated by 3.40, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Only 4 of the 10 reach even half the leader's figure (31.5 or more).
