Solid wire generally offers better electrical conductivity and heat dissipation compared to stranded wire. It is also easier to terminate and can provide a more stable connection in certain applications.
Yes, an electromagnet is typically made by wrapping a wire around a solid core, such as iron, and connecting the wire to a power source to create a magnetic field when current flows through the wire.
An electromagnet's strength can be increased by increasing the number of coils in the wire, increasing the current flowing through the wire, and using a material with high magnetic permeability as the core. Additionally, winding the wire tightly and using thicker wire can also enhance the strength of the electromagnet.
To measure the diameter of a wire using a micrometer screw gauge, place the wire between the anvil and the spindle of the micrometer. Gently close the spindle by rotating the thimble until it comes into contact with the wire. Read the measurement displayed on the thimble and sleeve to determine the diameter of the wire.
One experiment that proves solids occupy space is measuring the volume of a solid using displacement method. By placing the solid in a container with water and measuring the change in water level, you can determine the volume of the solid. Another experiment involves using a caliper to measure the dimensions of a solid and then calculating its volume using the formula for the volume of a solid object.
Increasing the number of turns in the coil of wire. Using a core material with better magnetic properties, such as iron. Increasing the current flowing through the wire. Using a thicker wire with lower resistance in the coil.
Plastic wire is much cheaper than using regular metal wire. Another advantage of using plastic wire is that it is much safer and better for the environment.
It would of course depend on the specific application. Current tends to travel on the surface of a conductor and a stranded conductor has more surface area and thus offers less resistance to the current. Stranded wire also bends a bit easier than the corresponding size solid wire.

Most motors aren't wired with solid wire. Typically only alternators or electric motors have solid wire.
Steel wire is strong.
Flexibility is the main advantage of stranded wires; however for high frequency AC (i.e. radio frequencies), stranded wires increase the surface area, minimizing the skin effect (i.e. high frequency current avoiding the core of a wire, increasing its resistance at that frequency). This is not an issue at typical power frequencies (e.g. 60Hz) as the skin effect is still insignificant at those frequencies.
No. Copper wire is a solid
This just means a wire with a solid central core, ie made from one solid length of copper or aluminium, as opposed to a wire made from many thin strands

Wire can be fabricated in two different forms. Solid wire refers to a single wire, while stranded wire is a wire which is made up of more than one single solid wire twisted together. A stranded wire is much more flexible, and less subject to breaking from flexing than a stranded wire of the same size.
Non-Concentric wire is solid wire.
