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.

low


What type of resistance - high or low - do conductors and insulators have?

A component of a given size that offers low resistance is called a good conductor.A conductor having some appreciable resistance is called a resistor.A component of identical size that offers a higherresistance is called a poor conductor.An insulator of the same size offers even higherresistance.


Do conductors have low resistance?

Conductors have low resistance. Recall Ohm's law. The higher the conductor resistance, the greater the voltage drop along the conductor, and the less voltage that is available for the load. The conductor resistance is a resistance in series with the load. Also, higher conductor resistance results in more electrical power being converted into heat, warming up the conductors. This is calculated with the formula P=I2R. The greater the resistance, the greater the power wasted heating the conductors.


Do conductors have high or low current?

Low resistance. Think of Ohm's law. Voltage drop is directly proportional to resistance. The higher the resistance, the higher the voltage drop, and the less voltage that is available for the load. Think of conductor resistance as a resistance in series with the load. Also, higher conductor resistance means more power lost, going to heating the conductors. The "line loss" formula is P=I2R. The greater the resistance, the greater the electrical power being converted into thermal power heating the conductors.
