What kind of wire would have the greatest electrical resistance?
Rubber wire!!!!
Does a longer wire equal resistance?
Wire is not equal to resistance. If you have two pieces of wire with the same thickness, composition, and temperature, the longer piece has higher electrical resistance.
Oxidized wire causes what?
increased electrical resistance
Is a bulb dimmer when the wire is longer?
The resistance of a wire is proportional to its length so increasing the length would increase the resistance of the wire. The higher the resistance of a wire the lower the voltage will be across the bulb so theoretically, the bulb will be somewhat dimmer.However, the resistance of a wire is extremely low compared to that of the light bulb. Electrical wiring is designed and installed so that the wire resistance is insignificant compared to the resistance of the load, such as the bulb. In a well planned wiring system, it will be impossible to see any difference in brightness in bulbs regardless of their location in the electrical circuit. In most cases, it will require very sensitive measuring equipment to detect any difference at all.
Do bends in a wire affects its electrical resistance?
Unless the wire is broken, a bent wire should still be able to conduct electricity as well as a straight one.
What kind of wire would have the greatest electrical resistance?
Rubber wire!!!!
What type of resistance would exist for electrical timers?
none the resistance is in the wire not the timer
Electrical resistance in a wire depends on the wire's?
It's dependent on the wire's composition. That is, what material it is made of. <<>> The electrical resistance in a wire depends on the wire's length and cross sectional area.
Does a longer wire equal resistance?
Wire is not equal to resistance. If you have two pieces of wire with the same thickness, composition, and temperature, the longer piece has higher electrical resistance.
Oxidized wire causes what?
increased electrical resistance
Would thick wires tend to have the least amount of eletrical resistance?
Yes, the resistance is directly proportional to length of wire and inversely proportional Area, hence when Length of wire increases the resistance also increases and when Area increases the resistance decreases. This means a thick wire has least amount of Electrical resistance.
What property wire increases when it is made thinner?
electrical resistance
What kind of energy could resistance in an electrical wire be converted to?
Thermal
When a wire is smaller the resistance increases What happens to the electrical current?
increase
What would reduce resistance in a copper wire?
Reduce the resistance:-- Use a shorter piece of wire.-- Use thicker wire.-- Cool the wire.Increase the resistance:-- Use a longer piece of wire.-- Use thinner wire.-- File a nick in the piece of wire you have.-- Stretch the wire.-- Heat the wire.

What would happen if the spark plug wire had high electrical resistance?
You would have a misfire and it may damage the coil if operated long enough in that condition.
