How does the thickness of the wire affect a generators strength?
Wiki User

A thicker wire reduces electrical resistance (as does a shorter wire), so more energy will be transported if a thick wire connects a generator to its destination.

How much voltage can a 20 gauge wire carry?
The voltage does not depend on the gauge of the wire, but on the thickness and type of insulation.
What is gauged wire?
The gauge of a wire indicates its thickness. Low numbers indicate thicker wire. Details are given in online wire tables.

What can affect the resistance of a wire?
The thickness
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 are factors that affect resistance of electricity?
Temperature, thickness, length and type of wire.
Does thickness of wire affect resistance?
yes.it affect.because thick wire cannot hold high resistance of current
Does the length of a wire affect the strength of an electromagnet?
longer= stronger
Does the number of coil of wire in an electromagnet affect its magnetic strength?
yes,the more the coils the more the strength it collects
How does the number of wraps of wire affect the strength of an electromagnet?
The more turns of wire in an electromagnet the stronger the magnetic field.
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.
Composition of copper wire in generators?
how much copper is in copper wire
List the factors on which the strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet depends?
The strength of an electromagnets magnetic field depends on:The type of core metalThe ability of the wire to carry current (its material and thickness)The number of turns of the wiring around the coreThe voltage/current of the electricity going through the wire.
