Metals are used within electronic devices and wires because they are excellent conductors of electricity. This means that they allow electricity to flow easily through them without much resistance, which helps to ensure efficient transfer of energy within the device. Metals have a high number of free electrons that can move freely and carry electric current. This property of metals makes them the ideal choice for conducting electricity in electronic devices and wires.
