Sometimes.
Circular mills is a way of measuring wire size. It's a measurement of area. It's used to state the cross sectional area of round wire, because the current (electricity) carrying ability of wire is related to this area.
In the U.S. wire gauge (18 gauge, 14 gauge, etc.) is used to state wire sizes until they become large. Large sizes (larger than 0000 gauge maybe) are stated in circular mills, but the size of any wire could be stated in circular mills.

What has the lowest resistance copper wire or iron wire?
Copper wire. .wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_conductivity
Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?
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.
Is copper wire a pure substance heterogeneous mixture or homogeneous?
copper is an ELEMENT therefore it is not a heterogeneous OR homogeneous mixture.
What is it called when copper is pulled into thin wires?
Copper Wire
What is the compound formed after plunging a heated copper wire into a methanol?
It depends on what you added to the methanol before you put the heated copper wire into the methanol. The heated copper wire acted as a catalyst to speed up the reaction between the methanol and the other substance. Copper itself does not react with methanol.
Copper wire weight?
Weight of copper wire is measured by the American Wire Gauge. Determining factors are whether or not it is solid wire, insulated and the area.
What doesn't affect the resistance of a uniform circular copper wire?
Is either; A. the length of the wire B. the diameter of the wire c. the location of the wire D. the temperature of the wire
How do you measure electrical current flow in a copper wire?
Electrical current flow in a copper wire is measured with an ammeter. It is either clamped onto the wire or attached at one end to monitor the amount of current moving through the wire.
What are the elements in a copper wire?
If the copper wire really is pure copper then the only element in the copper wire is copper (Cu).
What standards are used for wire gauges?
The diameter of the wire measured in MCM, (thousand circular mils). Wire sizes in the U.S. are described in AWG, (American Wire Gauge) such as #12 awg printed on the wire.
Why is wire better than copper wire on an electromagnet?

Composition of copper wire in generators?
how much copper is in copper wire
Is copper wire a plasma?
No. Copper wire is a solid
Is copper wire waterproof?
No.. Copper wire isn't
Dose recycled copper wire be come new copper wire?
Copper wire sent for recycling is remelted and rerefined. It becomes a new copper product one of which might be new copper wire.
What is tinned copper wire?
copper wire that is coated with tin
Why does an electrical circuit have a copper wire?
If you mean a bare copper wire, that is the "ground" wire.
