The thicker the wire, the higher the current the wire is capable of passing. This is due to two things: 1.) the larger wire has less resistance, and 2.) the larger wire has more surface area to dissipate power.

What are the factors on which the heat produced the electric current depends upon?
It depends on1 the resistance of wire.2the voltage between the ends of the wire.3the flowing current time.
What does a inductive ammeter do?
It measures current by creating a coil around the current carrying wire. Current flowing in the wire induces a current in the amp-meter proportional to the current flowing in the wire.
What is the device designed to detect a difference in current between circuit wire called the inward and outward paths?
GFI
What is the current carrying capacity of silver wire?
The current capacity varies depending on the length and diameter of the wire
What is a function of neutral wire?
to complete the circuit and back to power supply
What is the relationship between the direction of current and direction of electron flow in a current carrying wire?
the directions are opposite to each other
What is the relationship between the direction of current and the direction of electron flow in a current carrying wire?
the directions are opposite to each other
Does thickness of wire affect resistance?
yes.it affect.because thick wire cannot hold high resistance of current
How does wire thickness affects resistance?
Increasing wire thickness decreases its resistance, while increasing its length increases its resistance. Provided the voltage between the ends of the wire is constant, the current through it is inversely proportional to its resistance.
What is the relationship between the deflection of the wire and the current?
the relationship between the deflection of the wire and the ccurrent is when the voltage is 12volt the current become higher.Another AnswerPresumably you are referring to the force on a conductor placed in a magnetic field? In which case, it is equal to the Flux Density of the field (in teslas), the length of the conductor within the field (in metres), and the value of the current passing through the conductor (in amperes).
What is the relationship between wire size length of run and voltage drop?
The wire resistance is proportional to the length of wire divided by its cross-section area. The voltage drop is proportional to the resistance times the current.
What is the Mathematical relationship between electrical power and the number of coils of wire?
There is none. There is a relationship between voltage and current and turns ratios in a transformer. But this rule remains - power in = power out. You don't get anything for free.
What is the relationship between the size of the electric current passing through a length of wire and its heating effect?
The relationship is that as the current passing through the wire increases so does the heating effect in the wire. To see its effect just use the formula: W=I2R R is resistance in ohms I is current in amps W is the heat output in watts Hope this helps
Does the thickness of a fuse wire matter?
The thinner a piece of wire, the more the resistance and the less space there is. The thicker the wire, the more space there is and the more current is allowed into the wire. This allows the fuse to melt later.

What is AWG in cable?
American Wire Gauge. Measure the thickness of the cable.
What is the difference between 2 gauge wire that has many strands vs a smaller number of strands same 2 gauge thickness though?
Most of the current travels on the surface of the wire. The more strands the more surface area and the lower the effective resistance.
