Why is thick steel wire stronger than thin steel wire?
The material will yield when stress reaches a critical value. Stress = Load / Area Thick steel wire is stronger than thin steel wire because there is more cross sectional area in the thick wire. Although the material's strength in load per unit area would be the same, the ultimate load that the wire can sustain would be more in the thick wire. A simple way of looking at it is to imagine a thick wire as a number of thin wires stuck together. If a thin wire can support a mass of 1kg then 2 thin wires can support 2kg. A wire which is twice as thick (twice the cross sectional area) can also support 2kg.
Is it better for a cactus cover to be thick or thin?
Thick
Why does resistance increase in thinner wires?
A thick wire has its cross section area more than that of the thin one .Since the resistance of a material is inversely proportional to its resistance, resistance of thick wire is less compared to.[as cross section area increases the no electrons drifted increases].this applies only to OHMICdevices.
Can you usually hear the water running through the pipes?
Funny Not really usually but if you do, then you have yourself really thin pipes. Its not that its a problem, its just that your pipes are thin and not that thick. I f i were you i would get myself some thick pipes
What is the difference between solid timber and veneer?
Solid timber is thick, bulky and veneer are thin and easy to apply to furniture
What do thick wires resist electricity?
Thick wires have lower resistance to electricity compared to thin wires because they have more surface area for the current to flow through. This lower resistance allows for more efficient transmission of electricity with less energy loss in the form of heat.
Does current go faster with thick or thin wires?
Thin wires
Can electricity move faster through thick or thin wires?
No, it moves at the same speed regardless of the wire gauge.
Does electricity move better through thick or thin wire?
Electricity moves better through thick wire. This is because thick wires have a lower resistance and allows more current to pass through it. Now that might be true but I did an experiment with a thick wire,thin wire,light bulb,and D batteries and the thin wire made the light bulb light up brighter. So, really its probably a thin wire.
Is it better to use thin wires or thick ones?
I think thick wires are smarter
Why freezers use thin or thick wires?
because
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.
Thin wires have a what resistance to electron flow than do thicker wires?
Thin wires have a greater resistance rhan thick wires. Imagine a straw. The thinner the straw. the less liquid can get through. Wires work the same way.
Why does electricity moves faster through thick wires than thin wires?
You should think of the wires like a river, a small stream can only let so much water past. A large river can transport more current, faster. Two wires made of the same substance, but of different sizes will not transfer electrons equally, because there is less metal to conduct the electricity in the smaller wire. Also, metal has shared electrons, this is why metal reflects light the way it does, and why it works so well as a conductor, the electricity literally just flows right through it! I hope that helps you out :D
Does electrey faster in thick wire or thin one?
The speed of an electric signal or current depends on the material, not on the thickness. In metal, it is usually about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum. On the other hand, a thin wire has a higher electrical resistance than a thick wire (other things being equal). But this does not affect the speed.
Why does thin wires have high resistivity than thick ones?
Thin wires have higher resistivity than thick wires because of increased electron scattering in thin wires. In thin wires, electrons collide more frequently with the wire's atoms or impurities, causing more resistance to the flow of current. Thicker wires have more free space for electrons to move through, resulting in lower resistivity.
Compared to thin wires electrical resistance in thick wires are?
Lower in thick wires due to their larger cross-sectional area, which allows for more space for electrons to flow and reduces the resistance. Thicker wires also have less electrical resistance because they experience less heat loss, making them more efficient for carrying electrical currents over greater distances.
