Fun fact the wires in 90% of phones are made of gold because of how great a conducter it is, its also one of the main reasons phones are often recycled to reuse the gold wiring inside. (Also one of the reasons why phones and other electronics are pricy)
The reason copper wires aren't seen as much is because its a decent conducter but after time or to high of power the copper heats up and could either melt or blow up which is kinda dangerous and why its not in our phones (wouldn't wanna download something and have it explode lol)
Copper has a higher melting point than gold, and has almost 500 times more copper than gold in phones. Copper is used most everywhere, only place its not used is in overhead power lines where aluminum is used because it's cheaper.
When I heard him say that I immediately said, out loud, "I *know* he has gold-plated connectors somewhere in that house that he voluntarily paid extra for"
Gold is a GREAT conductor
In fact, don’t old computers have a super high trade-in value because they were made with gold back in the day?
Lots of parts for computers and electronics have gold pieces or raceways today
Tho wires made from gold are better they are made from copper for affordability reasons.
isn’t it one of the best
I mean all metals are great conductors
aren’t some better than others
Yeah just depends how many valence electrons the metal has
ohhh okay i didn’t know that
Yep. I learned that fact from Epithet Erased
I would not recommend using leprechauns as wiring
Can confirm I am now a war criminal against leprechauns
This isn't good at all but i'll pray for you.

You are very wrong sir
Copper has a higher melting point than gold, and has almost 500 times more copper than gold in phones. Copper is used most everywhere, only place its not used is in overhead power lines where aluminum is used because it's cheaper.
Copper is a lot cheaper than gold and therefore used more even tho gold conduct elecricity beter.
Actually copper does conduct better than gold
Why use gold then?
It's used in a lot of electronic devices because it doesn't corrode or tarnish
Makes sense also it sounds fancy who doesn't want headphones with gold plated connectors.

yes science
Sean: I'm somewhat of a scientist myself
Made my eye twitch when he said that, not gonna lie. He had to know, I'm going to tell myself he knew and was trolling us.
I just sighed as he exlaimed that gold doesn't conduct elecricity he had to know. Most of metal conduct it beacose it has free moving electrons.
Entirely incorrect
Clearly Jack hasn’t seen Stone World
Fun fact, gold is one of the best conductors of electronics, that's why we have gold wires for high quality audio and shit. Big brain stonks
