Can twist tie float?

Twist ties are typically made of thin metal wire covered in paper or plastic, which makes them denser than water. This means they are more likely to sink than float in water. However, a twist tie could potentially float if it is large enough and there are air pockets trapped within its structure.


Is a copper wire magnetic?

No, copper wire is not magnetic.


What copper wire would have the highest resistance?

A thicker copper wire will have higher resistance as it will offer more opposition to the flow of electrons compared to a thinner wire. Additionally, a longer copper wire will have higher resistance compared to a shorter wire due to increased distance for the electrons to travel. Finally, a copper wire with impurities or defects will have higher resistance than a pure copper wire.


Can copper and alluminium wire of same length and diameter have same resistance?

No, copper and aluminum wire of the same length and diameter will not have the same resistance. Copper has a lower resistivity than aluminum, so a copper wire will have lower resistance compared to an aluminum wire of the same length and diameter.


Will you suggest an improvised experiment for science exhibition?

Lots of things could be improvised. There is a section on "experiments". Perhaps one could try blowing up a balloon by adding baking soda and vinegar. What does an aspirin dissolve best in? Water? Vinegar? Baking soda + Water? Ammonia? Can you put a candle out by touching the wick with copper wire? Aluminum wire? Steel wire? Pencil Lead? At room temperature, what feels colder, Brick? Steel sheet? Copper sheet? Plastic Sheet? Foam Rubber? Styrofoam? If they are all the same temperature, why does one feel colder than another?
