Good conductors have a high resistance or low?
Good conductors have low resistance
Which has the thickest filament - a high-resistance or a low-resistance bulb?
A low resistance bulb has a thicker filament.
Does a good conductor has a high resistance?
No, a good conductor has a low resistance.
Does plastic have low resistance?
yes, it does have low resistance
Why does a long and thin wire have a great resistance?
Because resistance is inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of the wire and directly proportional to its length. R = p*L/A, where R is resistance (in Ohms), p is resistivity (property of the material, in Ohms*m), L and A are length and area of the wire. And if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. In thick wire electrons have a lot of 'room' to move, they do not obstruct the path. If you imagine it is like a road with many free lanes - cars move fast and freely i.e. low resistance (or more scientifically, like many wires in parallel). Where as length is proportional to the resistance, since every small segment of wire adds more resistance to the total (many wires in series).
How can you get low viscoSity and high resistance?
You get low viscosity with thin liquids like water that flow easily. Low viscosity means the liquid has low resistance. You get high resistance when you have liquids that flow slowly like honey and syrup, which means high viscosity.
Why do spark plug wires have resistance?
All wires have a resistance, as does everything else in the universe. Conductors like metal and carbon generally have low resistances where as non conductors have a very high resistance. Think of it like friction, but electric.
Is graphite a high resistance or low resistance of electricity?
Graphite is low resistance of electricity...
Why should the connecting wires in a bulb be of low resistance?
This is to avoid energy losses in the connecting wires.
What is the viscosity definitions?
Viscosity is a fluids resistance to flow. A high viscosity fluid would be thick, a low viscosity fluid would be thin.
Does gold have a high or low resistance?
Gold has a low resistance, which means it is a good conductor of electricity. This property makes it useful in various electrical applications where low resistance is needed for efficient conduction of electricity.
Good conductors have a high resistance or low?
Good conductors have low resistance
Which has the thickest filament - a high-resistance or a low-resistance bulb?
A low resistance bulb has a thicker filament.
What is ment by high resistance and low resistance on a meter?
On a multimeter, a high resistance would indicate a high Ohmic value and a low resistance would indicate a low Ohmic value. Specific values would be relative to device you are measuring.
Do meters usually have a high or low internal resistance?
It depends on the application. Voltmeters have a high internal resistance, while ammeters have a low internal resistance.
What is high resistance what is low resistance?
Low resistance lets electrons through easy, and high makes it harder for them to pass. Basically electricity is harder to flow through high resistance and vice versa.
