Metal wires are single strands of flexible material often used to carry electrical currents, telecommunication signals, and hold mechanical loads.

Is baling wire a metal or nonmetal?
metal
Is cutting metal into wire a physical or chemical property?
Physical. The metal is still metal, even though now it's wire-shaped.
What wire of an appliance connects its metal base to the ground through the household wiring?
The wire recognized by your governing body to mean "ground" is the wire an appliance connects its metal base to ground, via the household wiring. In the US that wire is green.
What characteristic of metal means it can be shaped into a wire?
Ductility
Which characteriistic of a metal means it can be shaped into a wire?
ductile
Is bending a metal wire a chemial or phyiscal change?
Physical. The metal wire is still a metal wire after the change.
What is the metal used in wire?
In most cases, copper is the metal used in wire.
What is thicker 28 or 30 gauge?
The thickness of metal wire is inversely proportional to the guage number of the metal wire. So 28 guage metal wire is thicker than 30 guage metal wire.
Is copper wire a metal?
yes its a metal
Is baling wire a metal or nonmetal?
metal
How is metal wire made?
You melt the metal and pour it into a thin mold the size of the wire you want.
Is cutting metal into wire a physical or chemical property?
Physical. The metal is still metal, even though now it's wire-shaped.
How do you make a wire in little alchemy?
Electricity+Metal=Wire
Where do you hook the ground wire on a porcelain light fixture on a metal box?
Connect the ground wire to the metal box.
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
What are thin wires made out of?
metal if its not metal than its not a wire
How do you calculate how hot a wire can get?
Determine what the wire is made of and look up the melting point of that metal. Once it reaches that temperature it will not be wire anymore but molten metal.
