Is the copper wire positive or negative?
copper is positive
What is the equation for the length and resistance of a wire?
R = (density)(Length)/(Area) Unit of resistance is Ohms.
Suppose you have two wires of equal length made from the same material how is it possible for the wires to have differents resistances?
You don't specify diameter. I am assuming it is the same. However, the larger the wire the lower the resistance. Temperature affects resistance. The hotter the wire, the higher the resistance. You also don't specify the layout of the wire. For example you could make a coil or choke with one wire.
Best material for making resistance wire?
Many people use steel and stainless steel, perhaps stainless steel welding wire to make cheap resistance heating elements.
How much does 1 inch copper wire weigh?
its 10000kg
Is the resistance of a 1 ft piece of copper wire the same as a 2 ft piece?
No
A piece of copper wire was cut into n equal parts these parts are connected in parallel how will the resistance of the parallel combination compare with the resistance of the wire?
The resulting resistance of the parallel combination will be the resistance of the original wire divided by n squared.
What would reduce resistance in a copper wire?
Reduce the resistance:-- Use a shorter piece of wire.-- Use thicker wire.-- Cool the wire.Increase the resistance:-- Use a longer piece of wire.-- Use thinner wire.-- File a nick in the piece of wire you have.-- Stretch the wire.-- Heat the wire.
Which material has a greater resistance aluminum or copper wire?
Aluminium wire has high resistance than Copper.
What has the lowest resistance copper wire or iron wire?
Copper wire. .wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_conductivity
Can copper and alluminium wire of same length and diameter have same resistance?
For a single temperature, yes. The copper wire will have a much smaller cross-section than the iron wire. For multiple temperatures, no. Copper and iron have different temperature coefficients for resistivity.
What is the weight of 3-0 copper wire per foot?
what is the weight of 300 MCM Copper wire
Does a longer wire equal resistance?
Wire is not equal to resistance. If you have two pieces of wire with the same thickness, composition, and temperature, the longer piece has higher electrical resistance.
Does a short copper wire have more resistance then a long one?
No. Other things being equal, a long wire has more resistance than a short wire.
What has more resistance a nichrome wire or a copper wire?
Nichrome wire has such high resistance that it is used to convert electrical energy into heat. Many heating elements are made from nichrome. Copper wire has the best conductivity, for the price, of any metal.
Why is a copper wire not used to make filaments of electricbulbs?
Copper wire has low resistance, so it is unable to produce enough heat to glow.
If you tie piece of copper wire a end of a exhaust.. what will happen?
If a person ties a piece of copper wire at the end of the exhaust pipe on a vehicle the copper is going to heat up. When the copper heats up it will turn a rainbow of colors.
