What property determines the choice of material that is used for the inside of an electrical wire and the material that is used for the outside of the wire?

The most important property is the conductivity of the material under consideration. A high conductivity is needed for the inside, and a very low conductivity for the outside. Only after this can we consider other factors, such as cost, strength, toxicity, flammability, flexibility, corrosion resistance and ease of making and shaping.


Electrical resistance in a wire depends on the wire's?

It's dependent on the wire's composition. That is, what material it is made of. <<>> The electrical resistance in a wire depends on the wire's length and cross sectional area.


What are wires made of?

Most wire is made of an electrical conducting metal such as steel, copper, brass, etc. Then to prevent electrical "shorts," a generally flexible, electrically insulating material is used to cover the wire.

Which type of wires used in electrical works?

Electrical wire is the type of wire that is used in electrical equipment. To strip the wires, you need to use wire strippers. There is also special tape called electrical tape that is used to secure the wire.


Which material is used as insulation of the wire?

The material commonly used as insulation for electrical wires is PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Other materials include rubber, polyethylene, and Teflon, each chosen for their electrical insulating properties and resistance to heat and environmental factors. The type of insulation selected often depends on the application and the environment in which the wire will be used.
