Electrical Resistivity of Common Silver Alloys

The electrical resistivity of silver alloys depends on the specific composition of the alloy. In general, silver is known for its excellent electrical conductivity, making it one of the best conductors among all metals. The addition of other elements to silver to form alloys can have varying effects on its electrical resistivity.

The following table provides a curated list of electrical resistivity values for common silver alloys at standard room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F) and 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
