Why conductors are designed using smaller strands?

Two reasons:Mostly a stranded wire is far more flexible than a solid one and less likely to break after repeated flexing.At AC frequencies in the RF range an effect called the "skin effect" starts to become significant, current flow restricts itself to the skin of the conductor and the wire resistance rises. Stranded wire offers more skin and thus reduces the wire resistance again.
