Answer
The material that generally has the lowest resistivity is silver.
Resistivity is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. Materials with low resistivity are good electrical conductors. Among common materials, metals generally have the lowest resistivities. Silver has the lowest resistivity at room temperature, followed closely by copper and gold.
