The thinner a piece of wire, the more the resistance and the less space there is. The thicker the wire, the more space there is and the more current is allowed into the wire. This allows the fuse to melt later.

Does the thickness of the fuse wire matter?
The thinner a piece of wire, the more the resistance and the less space there is. The thicker the wire, the more space there is and the more current is allowed into the wire. This allows the fuse to melt later.
Does the thickness of the wire matter for magnetic science projects?
No it doesn't
How do you you measure the thickness of a thin wire?
To measure the thickness of a thin piece of wire we have got the instrument called the wire gauge. The thickness of a thin piece of wire is measured in mm.
What can affect the resistance of a wire?
The thickness
What is the thickness of enamel on magnet wire?
aprox 10% of the diameter of the wire
Why is copper used in fuses?
Copper is used in the contact points in fuse boxes because it will oxidize and you can separate the points of contact. If it was made if iron and rusted, it will 'weld' the link together and then it is no longer a fuse.
What is an Grade an answer to what affects the resistance in a wire?
*the resistivity of the metal the wire is made of *thickness of wire *length of wire
Does negative ground wire have fuse?
NO. Usually the positive wire will have the fuse.
Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypass the fuse?
Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypasses the fuse
How does the thickness of the wire affect resistance?
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
How does the thickness of wire affect the resistance?
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
What is 6 gauge?
A thickness of wire or metal.
