What is a good conductor of electricity?
A
copper
B
glass
C
plastic
D
rubber
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Copper. One of the most commonly used metals to conduct electricity is copper. As a material, copper is pliable, easy to wrap or solder, which makes it the best choice when large amounts of wiring are needed. Copper’s core electrical function is related to the transmission of electricity and power generation.

Detailed explanation-2: -In copper, there is enough heat energy at ordinary room temperatures to liberate a vast number of the weakly held valence electrons. The presence of a large number of free electrons in copper, as in other metals, is what makes it a good conductor of electricity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Copper and silver are good conductors of electricity as they ionize completely in their solution to conduct electricity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Typically, metals, metal alloys, electrolytes and even some nonmetals, like graphite and liquids, including water, are good electrical conductors. Pure elemental silver is one of the best electrical conductors. Other good electrical conductors include the following: copper.
