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

Which equation should be used to calculate how much current in amps is required to achieve the full 100 W output from the 9 V bulb?

I = p/v = 100w/9v = 11.11ai = p*v = 100w*9v = 900ai = (p/2)*v = 50w*9v = 450ai = p*2*v = 100w*(9v + 9v) = 8100a

What wire size is used for 100 watt 12 volt lamp?

Volts * Amps = Watts 12 V * ?Amps = 100 Watts OR ? Amps =100W/12V OR 8.33 Amps = 100W/12V Use a 10Amp fuse inline and you can get by with 16Ga wire.


How does the thickness of the wire affect resistance?

A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.

Is a 25 gauge smaller than a 22?

UK wire gauge - the higher the number the thinner the wire. So 25 would be thinner than 22.


What property of wire increases when it is made thinner?

resistance


What happens to the resistance of wire if it is made thinner?

woltz


What property wire increases when it is made thinner?

electrical resistance


If you have two light bulbs running on 120V circuit one is 50W the other 100W which has high resistence?

Power = voltage times current, and ohm's law state's R = V / I, so the lower wattage light bulb must have the higher resistance.


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.
