Single core has one single piece of metal wire, maybe copper or aluminium, with insulation around it. It is not very good if you want the cable to flex and bend as it is more likely to just bend and stay there in the new position. Multiple-strand cable has lots of thin wires and this makes it more flexible and likely to spring back

What roles do insulated wires play in preventing a short circuit?

A "short circuit" by definition is a fault from the hot wire to the neutral in a single phase piece of equipment, or a fault between any 2 hot wires in a multi-phase piece of equipment. Proper insulation prevents this from happening.


Difference between single ended scsi and differential scsi?

single ended scsi is a method of transmitting electrical signals over wires. one wire carries a varying voltage that represent a signal, while other wire is connected to a ground. single emded scsi cables are of 6m-1.3m long. Differential scsi is a method of transmitting information electrically by means of 2 complementary signal pairs sent on 2 separate wires.


What is the difference between red and white wires in electrical circuits?

The difference between red and white wires in electrical circuits is their purpose and function. Red wires are typically used as hot wires to carry electrical current, while white wires are usually used as neutral wires to complete the circuit and return the current to the power source.


What is the difference between white and black wires in electrical circuits?

The difference between white and black wires in electrical circuits is that white wires are typically used as neutral wires, while black wires are usually used as hot wires. Neutral wires carry current back to the power source, while hot wires carry current from the power source to the device being powered.

What is the difference between a Bowflex machine and free weights?

The only difference between a Bowflex machine and free weights are wires. The Bowflex machine uses weight resisting wires to increase your weight. With free weights you are using your own muscle to rely on.


Difference between ground clearance and sectional clearance in substation?

Ground clearance in a substation is the distance between wires and the ground or other objects such as buildings. Sectional clearance is the distance between the wires themselves in a substation.

Why doesn't birds get electric shock when they land on cables?

The voltage difference between the birds legs maybe very small. The shock comes when the voltage difference is large like between two different wires. Birds don't usually put their feet on different wires.
