In what areas are metals with poor electrical conductivity used?

Paul Drud is a scientist who studied electrical conductivity and created the theory of electrical conductivity of metals. The metal with the highest electrical conductivity is silver. As a rule, it is used in many areas. However, metals with poor electrical conductivity such as mercury, nichrome or bismuth are also used. So mercury is used even in everyday life, for example, in the most common thermometers. Also, elements of electronic equipment and electronic equipment are created from metals with poor electrical conductivity. For example, conductors or semiconductors.
