750,000 circular mils. A wire that is 1 mil (.001 inches) in diamter is defined to have an area of 1 circular mil. The area in circular mils = (diameter in mils) ^ 2. To convert this to area in square inches, multiply 750,000 * pi / 4,000,000 = 0.589 sq in.

Is wire a conductor of electricity?

Yes, wire is a conductor of electricity.


What is conductor area?

Conductor area refers to the cross-sectional area of a conductor, such as a wire or cable, that carries an electric current. It is typically measured in square millimeters or square inches and is an important factor in determining the current-carrying capacity and resistance of the conductor. A larger conductor area generally allows for more current to flow with lower resistance.


Why does Resistance decrease in thin wire?

Area of cross section: Resistance R is inversely proportional to the area of cross section ( A) of the conductor. This means R will decrease with increase in the area of conductor and vice versa. More area of conductor facilitates the flow of electric current through more area and thus decreases the resistance. This is the cause that thick copper wire creates less resistance to the electric current.


Is a wire a conductor?

Yes, a wire is a conductor because it allows electricity to flow through it.


What is the resistance of a conductor directly proportional to?

The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to several different factors.Here is a list of some of them:the cross-sectional area or thickness of the conductor;the overall length of the conductor;the resistivity of the material from which the conductor has been made - note that this is often dependant on its actual temperature;the actual temperature the conductor reaches after a steady electric current has been passing through it for sufficient time for everything to stabilize.


Is wire an insulator or conductor?

Wire can be either an insulator or a conductor, depending on its material and properties. Copper wire, for example, is a good conductor of electricity, while rubber-coated wire is used as an insulator to protect against electric shocks.


Is wire an example of a conductor?

It matters what kind of wire like a cell phone charger would not be a conductor but a wire made for braces would be a big conductor. Also anything metal is a positive conductor of electricity. :)


Is a wire a conductor or insulator?

A wire is typically a conductor, meaning it allows electricity to flow through it.


Which is a better conductor between a short wire and long wire?

Double the length is double the resistance. Resistance of a wire is the resistivity of the material, times the length, divided by the cross-section area.


Is plastic wrapped around the electric wires is a good conductor?

Plastic wrapped around the wire is insulator. Not a conductor. That is why it is wrapped around the conductor wire.


Is a copper wire a nonmetal conductor?

Yes. It is a nonmetal conductor.
