Other things being equal, more cross-sectional area will cause less resistance.
Volume = cross sectional area * lengthArea = 2* cross sectional area + perimeter of cross section * length
If the diameter doubles (x2), the cross-sectional area quadruples (x4).
Because the volume of the cylinder is proportional to the cross sectional area of the cylinder. The cross sectional area is a circle and the area of a circle is pi*r2.
9 AWG
the larger the cross sectional area, the smaller the resistance
Other things being equal, more cross-sectional area will cause less resistance.
The resistance is based on the cross sectional area. It is conceivable that you could bend a wire in such a way as to affect the cross sectional area, but unlikely.
You cannot create a cross sectional area of a rectangle. You can only create cross sectional areas for triangular shapes.
To calculate Cross Sectional Area: Width x Depth
Volume = cross sectional area * lengthArea = 2* cross sectional area + perimeter of cross section * length
The cross sectional area of a slab can be found by squaring the height of the slab.
Cross Sectional Area = Width x Average Depth
cross-sectional area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
reduction ratio= initial cross sectional area/final cross sectional area
cross sectional area of cable * voltage drop
The answer depends on whether the cross sectional radius/diameter are doubles or the cross sectional area is doubled.
