Silver Plating

For applications in electronics, silver is sometimes used for plating copper, as its electrical resistance is lower; more so at higher frequencies due to the skin effect.

Variable capacitors are considered of the highest quality when they have silver-plated plates. Similarly, silver-plated, or even solid silver cables, are prized in audiophile applications; however some experts consider that in practice the plating is often poorly implemented, making the result inferior to similarly priced copper cables.
