There are three main core materials for wires in cars:
There are many insulation materials used and each has a different proper name.
I just think of them as plastic. (and I admit this is incorrect)
Wire made of many strands is 'cable'
No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.
When a wire is made thicker it's resistance decreases.
*the resistivity of the metal the wire is made of *thickness of wire *length of wire
Yes, I can recall a wire transfer that I have made in the past.

If wire delivering a certain amount of current is made narrower, the resistance of the wire will increase. This will limit current, and the wire will warm up some. If the wire is made shorter, resistance will decrease. The electrical codes have well published limits on the amount of current different types of wire can carry.
robot are made of metal and wire
The relationship between the length, material, and inductance of a wire is that the inductance of a wire increases with its length and the type of material it is made of. A longer wire and a wire made of a material with higher conductivity will have higher inductance.
It is sort of like a fabric, just made of wire.
A wire gauze is a mesh made from wire, and is basically used as a filter or s sieve.
The recommended gauge for 100 amp wire made of aluminum is typically 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
