What is the difference between 2 gauge wire that has many strands vs a smaller number of strands same 2 gauge thickness though?

Most of the current travels on the surface of the wire. The more strands the more surface area and the lower the effective resistance.

Difference between simplex and dual simplex?
Simplex is usually used to describe a single strand of Fiber Optic cable. This is sometimes used when a signal only needs to go in one direction, like a simple video feed from a security camera. Duplex (sometimes called "zipcord") is two strands of Fiber Optic cable joined by a thin connection between the two jackets. This is much more commonly used than simplex as with two fibers you can get synchronous communication between devices. Duplex cables are often labeled with A and B to determine which is the transmit and which is the receive.
Describe the function of electricity and the agarose gel in electrophoresis?
The electricity pulls the polar DNA strands through the gel, and shorter DNA strands move farther because they are less inhibited by the gel. The gel acts as drag to separate the different length DNA strands, so different DNA creates specific dye bands.
What is the long strands formed by joining small units?
Polymers, possibly.
Why is three strand rope stronger than four or more strands of the same diameter?
Whoever told you this is whacky. Why would you think this is true?
What household item can measure a kilometer?
Probably no individual item. But the combined length of all the fibres in carpets, or all the yarn in clothes, all the strands of wires in cables would measure kilometres.
When shopping for art supplies, what is the quality difference between the well known brands?
The quality in art supplies will be in the brush strands or the thickness and quality of the paint you are using.
What is the difference between highlights and Streaks for hair?
highlights are smaller like a few strands of hair whereas a streak is bigger and covers chunks of hair!!!
What is the difference between DNA and chromomatins?
Chromatins are made up of DNA strands
What is the difference between new and old DNA strands?
old is broken but new is not
What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
What is the difference between helicase and topoisomerase?
Helicase unwind the two DNA strands while topoisomerase unwind and also rejoin the the two strands of DNA.
What simile does the author use to describe the thickness of the old man's fishing line?
The author compares the thickness of the old man's fishing line to the strands of a spider's web.
What is the difference between DNA strands and DNA nucleus?
There is no such thing called a DNA nucleus. I assume you mean DNA found in the nucleus. The DNA that's found in the nucleus are many DNA strands all bunched up.
Is there any short circuit between strands in stranded conductors?
As the strands are in contact with each other, of course there is.
What is a nucleotiede made of?
This is made of many little strands of smaller particles and molocules that DNA is made from.
Difference between sense and anti sense strands of DNA?
The sense strand has the same base sequence as mRNA with uracil instead of thymine. The antisense strand is transcribed.
Is there any difference in performance of 2 gauge wire that has many strands as opposed to 2 gauge that has less or few strands?
Electricity primarily travels along the outside of the conductor. So the more "strands" you have the better in most instances.
