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 is thinner 24 gauge floral wire or 30 gauge floral wire?

Bigger guage number = smaller diameter wire. 30 guage is thinner


How does the thickness of the wire affect resistance?

A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.


Is 20 gauge iron wire thicker than 21 gauge?

No, the higher gauge means 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?

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 property wire increases when it is made thinner?

electrical resistance


How does the thickness of wire affect the resistance?

Thicker wire has less resistance than thinner wire due to lower electrical resistance. Thicker wire allows more electrons to flow through it easily, resulting in less opposition to the flow of electric current.


What type of wire will have the most resistance?

A longer and thinner wire will have more resistance compared to a shorter and thicker wire. This is because the longer wire results in greater opposition to the flow of electrical current, while the thinner wire offers less space for electrons to flow through, thus increasing resistance.


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 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.
