With the help of Kubo formula an expression for the electrical conductivity of metals is obtained within the Hartree‐Fock approximation using the method of double time temperature dependent Green's function. A simple calculation of the relevant relaxation time appearing in the expression is presented. This gives a reasonably good estimate of the electrical conductivity of metals.
