[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 3402874, member: 102022"]Thanks CB. Silver and gold are both great conductors of electricity. They are both used as such in many facets of industrial equipment as well as in electronics. Very over simplified....Silver is a better overall conductor of electricity. Silver is often used in solder to create a good connection where there is typically a drop off in current due to the electrical splice. Gold is used very sparingly because of the obvious cost factor. Just about every cell phone uses gold. Printed circuit boards in computers use gold. Although silver is a better conductor than gold, gold is used in place of silver in the above applications (the much cheaper option) because of stability. Silver will tarnish. This will cause silver to lose some of its electrical conductivity over time.[/QUOTE]
