Best Answer

A good conductor is a substance that will easily carry loose ions, also known as electricity. Many metals are good conductors. Conductors have many modern applications. Any wire that carries an electrical current has to be a conductor of some sort. On the contrary, substances that do not conduct electricity are known as insulators. Rubber is a very common insulator.

A good conductor of heat would be metal, this is because when there is heat around it, it carries it and passes it on. :D

As far as this applies to electricity, a good conductor offers the least resistance to the flow of electrons along it's path.
