The larger the conductor the Higher the resistanc Lower the ampacity Higher the voltage Lower the resistance?

No. The larger the conductor the lower the resistance and the higher the ampacity.


If the voltage is doubled the ampacity of a conductor is?

Unchanged. The conductor's ampacity is affected by its composition (copper, aluminum, etc.), cross-sectional area, and temperature, not by the supply voltage. The ampacity is limited because any conductor has resistance. When the conductor carries a load (supplies current), the conductor essentially becomes a resistance heater, and gets hot. At some point the temperature will become dangerous, either causing the conductor to melt or damaging the insulation or surrounding materials. The voltage dropped across a conductor that is supplying current to a load is computed by the following formula: E=I^2 X R Or, voltage dropped equals current through the conductor squared times the resistance of the conductor. Notice that the supply voltage is not even part of the equation. All the mentioned parameters - composition, cross-sectional area, and temperature affect its resistance. The ampacity of a conductor installed in a building can also be regulated by law, so, even though a conductor may pass a certain amount of current local laws may prohibit it's use anyway.

This melts if the current gets to high?

The conductor's insulation can melt if the current gets higher than the ampacity of the conductor.


What is larger 12 gauge wire or 20 gauge wire?

Yes, a #12 AWG conductor has a greater diameter than a #14 AWG conductor. A #12 conductor has an ampacity of 20 amps whereas a #14 conductor only has an ampacity of 15 amps.


If you doubled the number of coils and doubled the voltage what would be the increase in magnetic strength?

well if you doubled the coils it would be pie times the amount of voltage in the current squared


What happen is the potential difference across is double?

If the potential difference between the ends of any conductor is doubled, then the current through the conductor is also doubled.


What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?

The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.


What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a battery?

The battery is the voltage or power source, the wires form the conductor.


Voltage across resistor is doubled the current is?

Ohm's law states that the voltage across a resistor is the product of the current times the Resistance or V=I x R (I times R). V is Voltage, R is Resistance, and I is Current or Amperage. So if the Voltage is doubled and Resistance stays the same, the Current will be doubled.


If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?

It is halved. coz voltage=current * resistance


What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a battery circuit?

The battery is the voltage or power source, the wires form the conductor.
