What is the setting of 'There Will Come Soft Rains' by Ray Bradbury?

There are many aspects that go into the creation of a good story. The most important of all those aspects is the setting of the story. A setting is defined as the context and environment in which a situation is set. It is the time and place and circumstances in which a narrator drama or film takes place.

The setting gives the reader a better sense of the story. It allows them to visualize what is going on and connect with the characters better. The setting also helps with the mood of the story. It helps tie the story together, the theme must coincide with the setting, if not the story would not make sense to the audience. The setting pulls the reader right into the story. It is especially important to give a good description of the setting if it is an important part of the main character's story.

Whether your story takes place on an imaginary world or right here on present day earth, setting is a crucial part of any story. How you build the world around your characters will play a vital role in the overall believability of your novel. The type of world you create will determine the reactions and behaviors of your characters.

Why is the wire in the primary coil is made thick than of secondary coil in step up transformer?

i have no idea but maybe this is a possibility

voltage is inversely proportional to current

the voltage in the primary coil is lower than in the secondary therefore the current

in the primary coil is higher than in the secondary coil

in order to reduce energy lost in the primary coil, the resistance is lowered by

increasing the cross-section area of the coil as R is inversely proportion to area

So maybe it is thicker to reduce energy lost in the form of heat, thus making the transformer more efficient
