Generally a larger diameter copper wire would create the least resistance to electron flow. Copper is the most conductive and is widely used.

Would thick wires tend to have the least amount of eletrical resistance?

Yes, the resistance is directly proportional to length of wire and inversely proportional Area, hence when Length of wire increases the resistance also increases and when Area increases the resistance decreases. This means a thick wire has least amount of Electrical resistance.


What is the path of least resistance?

We will take an analogy here. Like you(electron) are very exhausted and want to return home(your positively charged beautiful wife) as quickly as possible. Now you start your car and find that there is a huge jam(resistance) on highway(a path). Now if there is an alternate road with lesser traffic you will surely analyse the number of cars(positive ions), length of road(length of conductor), width of road(area of conductor) and thenyou will take best possible way. Similarly the electrons take the path which is small in length, big in area and least positive ions so that collisions are less. In other words they take the path of least resistance.


The path that a electrical current travels?

A path that is made for an electric current is called a circuit. The two main components in a circuit are the load and a source which are combined with conductors and as a whole form a circuit.


To test for resistance in a circuit should be energized or de-energized?

To test for resistance in a circuit, the circuit should be de-energized.


Can you have an interface without any abstract method?

My answer to "Can an interface without any abstract method?" is YES.If abstract methods do not include the properties, then this interface should have at least 1 property (get or set) defined. It makes sense to have at least one of the abstract method or property/mutator/getter-setter.If the interface contains no properties, no methods, I cannot think of a reason to create such an interface, meaning - it is useless.

Why sulphur is diamagnetic?

Due to the absence of unpaired electrons, for magnetic properties there should be at least one unpaired electron in the atom.


What is the meaning of a good conducter of electricity?

A good conductor will pass electricity with little or no resistance. Resistance will cause the voltage to drop as the current increases. The least resistance will cause the least drop in voltage and is therefore a good conductor.


Why does an atom with only one electron in its valence shell make a better conductor than an atom with seven electrons in its valence shell?

these atoms offer the least amount of resistance for knocking the valence electron out of its orbit.

Which has least mass neutron protron electron or nucleus?

Well, that's kinda a trick question because an electron is pure energy. An electron particle is also the smallest of the 4, so its the electron (eventhough an electron is a weichtless particle such as a graviton or magneton! Hope I helped!!

Halogen with the least-negative electron affinity?

The halogen with the least-negative electron affinity is astatine. Electron affinity and electronegativities decreases down a group. Since astatine is the last halogen located in Group 17 as you move down the column from fluorine, it has the least negative electron affinity.
