750,000 circular mils. A wire that is 1 mil (.001 inches) in diamter is defined to have an area of 1 circular mil. The area in circular mils = (diameter in mils) ^ 2. To convert this to area in square inches, multiply 750,000 * pi / 4,000,000 = 0.589 sq in.

Why does Resistance decrease in thin wire?

Area of cross section: Resistance R is inversely proportional to the area of cross section ( A) of the conductor. This means R will decrease with increase in the area of conductor and vice versa. More area of conductor facilitates the flow of electric current through more area and thus decreases the resistance. This is the cause that thick copper wire creates less resistance to the electric current.


Is wire an insulator or conductor?

A metal wire is a conductor. It is the plastic layer round the wire that is an insulator.

What is the brown wire on my house wiring?

If you live in Europe, then the brown wire is the line ('hot') conductor; a blue wire is the neutral conductor, and a yellow/green striped wire is the protective (earth) conductor.


Is wire an example of a conductor?

It matters what kind of wire like a cell phone charger would not be a conductor but a wire made for braces would be a big conductor. Also anything metal is a positive conductor of electricity. :)


Which is a better conductor between a short wire and long wire?

Double the length is double the resistance. Resistance of a wire is the resistivity of the material, times the length, divided by the cross-section area.


Is plastic wrapped around the electric wires is a good conductor?

Plastic wrapped around the wire is insulator. Not a conductor. That is why it is wrapped around the conductor wire.


Is a copper wire a nonmetal conductor?

Yes. It is a nonmetal conductor.


What is the definition of bare wire or conductor?

uncovered conductor such as insulation ,that is said to be bare conductor.


Is ribbed wire hot?

No, the ribbed conductor on lamp cord is the identified conductor thereby making it the neutral wire.


What is the advantage of using a stranded copper conductor over a solid copper conductor?

It would of course depend on the specific application. Current tends to travel on the surface of a conductor and a stranded conductor has more surface area and thus offers less resistance to the current. Stranded wire also bends a bit easier than the corresponding size solid wire.


Which is a better conductor of heat air or a copper wire?

A copper wire is a much better conductor of heat than air is.
