Lead can conduct electricity (all metals can), it conducts electricity at 7% of the conductivity of copper.
Below is a list of conductivities relative to copper
1. Silver (Pure) 105%
2. Copper 100%
3. Gold (Pure) 70%
4. Aluminum 61%
5. Brass 28%
6. Zinc 27%
7. Nickel 22%
8. Iron (Pure) 17%
9. Tin 15%
10. Phosphor Bronze 15%
11. Steel (Stainless included) 3-15%
12. Lead (Pure) 7%
- Conductivity ratings are expressed as a relative measurement to copper. A 100% rating does not indicate no resistance.
As you can see the differences in electrical conductivity vary considerably depending on the metal.
