What happens to resistance of the wire if the wire is short?
Short wire has less resistance Long wire has more resistance Thick wire has less resistance Thin wire has more resistance
Compared to thin wires electrical resistance in thick wires are?
The electrical resistance in thick wires is less than thin.
Which of the following would have the best thermal conductor properties a thick mug or a cup made of metal?
A cup made of metal
How much does a 1000 gal metal tank weight metal?
Depends, What kind of Metal is It? How thick is the metal.
Does thickness of wire affect resistance?
yes.it affect.because thick wire cannot hold high resistance of current
Will a short thick metal wire have better resistance compared to a long narrow metal wire?
"Better" depends on how much resistance you need for your circuit design.A short thick wire will have less resistance than a long thin wire of the same substance.Whether that's better or worse depends on how you plan to use the wire.
What happens to resistance of the wire if the wire is short?
Short wire has less resistance Long wire has more resistance Thick wire has less resistance Thin wire has more resistance
What is Thin and narrow not wide or thick?
Spaghetti is thin and narrow; apply the sauce wide and thick.
What kind of barrettes will work in short thick hair?
I think the metal barrettes would be great in short thick hair. I would use those instead of bobby pins.
Thin and narrow not wide and thick?
Slender
Compared to thin wires electrical resistance in thick wires are?
The electrical resistance in thick wires is less than thin.
What do coahuiltecans look like?
Coahuiltecans are thick in the chest. They have narrow shoulders. They are usually short. They have oval shaped heads. They have skinny legs making it easy for the to run.
Why does resistance increase in thinner wires?
A thick wire has its cross section area more than that of the thin one .Since the resistance of a material is inversely proportional to its resistance, resistance of thick wire is less compared to.[as cross section area increases the no electrons drifted increases].this applies only to OHMICdevices.
Would thick wires tend to have the least amount of eletrical resistance?
Yes, the resistance is directly proportional to length of wire and inversely proportional Area, hence when Length of wire increases the resistance also increases and when Area increases the resistance decreases. This means a thick wire has least amount of Electrical resistance.
Does a light bulb glow brigther with a thin or thick wire?
A thinner wire in the bulb increases resistance and causes the metal to " burn hotter" converting the electrical energy into thermal and radiant energy

A cup made of metal
How much does a 1000 gal metal tank weight metal?
