Why do some wire cables need to be thicker than others?
The size of the wire depends on the current capacity (Load in Ampere) of the particular Appliances. Therefore, based on this the Appliances consuming more Ampere require a thicker cable. Answered by A.K.Maulik, Kolkata, India
What is a staple made out of?
Most likely, steel. If you put a magnet near one it will be attracted. If one gets wet, it will probably form a coating of rust on its surface.
What would be the voltage drop in an electrical circuit of the current draw was 65 amps and the circuit was 750 feet long with No. 6 TW conductor?
#6 copper wire has a resistance of 0.3951 ohms per 1000 ft (from wire tables). A 750 ft circuit contains 1500 ft of wire so the resistance is 0.5926 ohms. With 65 amps flowing the voltage drop is 38.5 volts. The power lost in the cable is 2½ kW.
What does 7 29 wire mean?
7 strands of 29 gauge (AWG) wire
What is cut diameter?
To cut across the diameter is to bi-sect a circle directly in half...thru the middle...two equal "pie" pieces
What is it called when copper is pulled into thin wires?
When copper is pulled into thin wires, it is called copper wire drawing. This process involves passing the copper through a series of decreasing diameter dies to gradually reduce its diameter and form a thin wire.
How do you you measure the thickness of a thin wire?
To measure the thickness of a thin piece of wire we have got the instrument called the wire gauge. The thickness of a thin piece of wire is measured in mm.
Thin wires resist electricity more or less than thick wires?
A thin (smaller diameter) wire resist more electricity than a thick (larger diameter) wire. Just like a larger pipe will allow more water to flow than a smaller pipe, a larger wire has more cross-sectional area to allow more current to flow.
What is the equivalent in inches to 60 gauge wire?
A 60 gauge wire has a diameter of approximately 0.0403 inches. In terms of inches, this is a very thin wire, commonly used in applications like jewelry making or fine electronics.
Which offers more resistance to the flow of charge a thick wire or a thin wire?
Thin wire.
If the wire is increased what should happen to the diameter?
If the wire is increased in length, the diameter of the wire should remain the same unless explicitly changed. The diameter of a wire is determined by its cross-sectional area, which is independent of its length.
Are wires thick?
Some wires are thick, others are thin. Wire thickness of up to about 30 mm diameter is used in electrical power distribution.
What is the diameter of 16 gauge wire?
16-gauge wire has a diameter of 0.05082 inches.
What gauge is 0.075?
A wire gauge of 0.075 inches corresponds to approximately 38 AWG (American Wire Gauge). In metric terms, this is about 1.9 mm in diameter. It's a very thin wire commonly used in applications like electronics and jewelry making.
Does a wire with a diameter of 0.01 mm have lower resistance than a wire with 0.1 mm?
No, the wire with a diameter of 0.01 mm will have higher resistance compared to a wire with a diameter of 0.1 mm. Resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, so a thinner wire will have higher resistance.
How are resistance and the diameter of a wire related?
Resistance is inversely related to the diameter of a wire. A larger diameter wire will have less resistance compared to a smaller diameter wire, assuming other factors like length and material remain constant. This is because a larger diameter wire provides more space for electrons to flow through, resulting in less resistance to the flow of current.
What is the cable diameter of a twin copper wire?
There isn't a specific diameter. The thicker the wire the more current it can convey. This diameter will be part of your calculations for your circuit.
