Silver is an excellent conductor. What does this imply about silver?

• A. A insulator
• B. A good carrier of current flow through a circuit
• C. A source of voltage
• D. It stores charge

Answer: (B)

When a material is an excellent conductor, charges can move through it very easily when a voltage is applied. This means silver provides a low-resistance path for current, so it serves as a good carrier of current flow through a circuit. A conductor like silver doesn’t generate voltage on its own—that role belongs to a power source—nor does it inherently store charge in normal operation; its main job here is to let current pass readily.
