    The document provides resistivity and temperature coefficient data for common conducting materials like copper, aluminum, gold, and others. It also includes tables with wire gauge sizes, their cross-sectional areas, and resistances per unit length for copper wire. Resistivity is measured in ohm-meters at 20°C, and temperature coefficients are measured in °C-1 at 0°C. Copper has one of the lowest resistivities and gold/silver are only slightly higher.
