Stretch a copper wire so that its thinner and the resistance between its end?
increases
What happens to the resistance of wire if it is made thinner?
woltz
How does temperature affect resistance of a wire?
If you are asking if a hot wire has a greater resistance than a cold wire then the answer I would say is yes. Cold wires have always had less resistance than hot wires
What are 2 ways you could alter a wire to increase the resistance in an electric current?
#1). Thinner wire.Either replace a wire with one composed of thinner material, orstretch the existing wire slightly so that it becomes thinner.#2). Longer wire of the same thickness.
Why does resistance increase in thinner wires?
A thick wire has its cross section area more than that of the thin one .Since the resistance of a material is inversely proportional to its resistance, resistance of thick wire is less compared to.[as cross section area increases the no electrons drifted increases].this applies only to OHMICdevices.
What property of wire increases when it is made thinner?
resistance
What property wire increases when it is made thinner?
electrical resistance
What property of a wire increases when is made thinner?
It's resistance to electric current increases.
What property of wire increases when it is made longer?
Its length, obviously. But also its electric resistance.
Stretch a copper wire so that its thinner and the resistance between its end?
increases
What happens to the resistivity of a conductor when it is made thinner and longer?
Resistance of wire increases wen we make it thin. Because R is inversely prop. To cross section area of wire.
What happens to the resistance of wire if it is made thinner?
woltz
Why does a thinner wire have less resistance?
With a given material, the resistance is inversely proportional to its area of cross section and so the radius. That means wire becoming thinner the resistance increases not decreases as said in the question.
What type of wire increases when it is made thinner?
Since resistance is inversely-proportional to cross sectional area, the lower the cross-sectional area, the higher the resistance. So ALL types of wire exhibit this behaviour!
Which is thinner wire 50w or 100w?
The 100w wire would be thinner than the 50w wire.Ê When determining wire gauge, the higher the wire gauge number, the thinner the diameter of the wire.Ê
Does a light bulb glow brigther with a thin or thick wire?
A thinner wire in the bulb increases resistance and causes the metal to " burn hotter" converting the electrical energy into thermal and radiant energy
Which is thinner 24 gauge floral wire or 30 gauge floral wire?
Bigger guage number = smaller diameter wire. 30 guage is thinner
