Electrical current is one of the most important and pratical discoveries of mankind. To have electrical flow we need to have a material with electrical conductivity, such as Tungsten. Ok, so what is the electrical conductivity of an atom of W?
Note: Learn more about the electrical conductivity here.
In the case of Tungsten the electrical conductivity is 0.189 10^6/cm ohm. There are cool facts about Tungsten that most don't know about. Let me show you...

Tungsten Data
Tungsten Electrical Conductivity
0.189 10^6/cm ohmState at 20 °C
SolidUses
Made into filaments for vacuum tubes and electric lights. Also as contact points in cars. Combined with calcium or magnesium it makes phosphors. Tungsten carbide is extremely hard and is used for making cutting tools and abrasives.Atomic Mass
