The inductance of a wire or coil is upon the length of wire and the permeability of the core material, if not air.
- To maximise inductance, use more wire (and wind into a solenoid shape).
- To maximise the inductance for a given volume, ensure that the winding cross-section is approximately square (i.e winding thickness = winding height).
- Lastly, to maximise the inductance of a square assembly, use a core with higher permeability, such as iron for power frequencies, or powdered iron or ferrite for higher frequencies.

Do the wire act as inductance?
Yes, even a straight piece of wire has inductance. One metre (or yard) of household flex has about 800nH (0.8uH) of inductance. Winding wire into coils makes them more compact, and multiplies the inductance of the assembly through coupling between turns. Using straight pieces of wire, the inductance is proportional to the length, but in a coiled inductor with 100% coupling, the inductance is proportional to the turns (length) squared! In many applications, iron or ferrite cores are used to further increase the inductance.
Can you use copper wire instead of eureka wire in finding its resistivity?
no
How is the movement of electricity through air different from its movement through copper wire?
The Air is many molecules scattered all around and copper wire is molecules in a line and very condensed where air is not. Therefore copper wire is a better conducter
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 kind of connecting wire should be used in physics Lab thinner or thicker?
If the electrical characteristics of the wire itself are not part of the experiment, then the wire should be thick and short. This minimizes both the resistance and inductance of the wire, and therefore the chances that the effects of the wire could influence the observations of the experiment.

A horseshoe magnet is moved back and forth across a piece of copper wire an electric current is detectable in the wire?
yes, it will be very small but the inductance from the magnet should stimulate a current in the wire as it will cause electrons to move.
What wire gauge should be used for 9 amp maximum?
#14 copper wire is rated for 15 amps.

What is the max amp rating for 4-0 Copper Wire?
250 amps maximum.
Contains both resistance and inductance?
Wire. conductors. Wire made into a coil, an inductor.
What is use 2 in copper wire?
Use 2 in copper wire refers to the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard for copper wire used in electrical applications. AWG 2 copper wire has a diameter of 0.2576 inches and is commonly used for high current applications such as industrial machinery or power distribution systems. It can carry a maximum current of approximately 190 amps.
How many amps for 14 wire how many amps for 12 wire?
#14 copper wire is rated at 15 amps, # 12 copper is rated at 20. The maximum capacity of any wire is 80% so remember to derate your current by multiplying the rated current by .8
What are the elements in a copper wire?
If the copper wire really is pure copper then the only element in the copper wire is copper (Cu).
Why is wire better than copper wire on an electromagnet?

What is the maximum current carrying capacity of 16 swg copper wire?
12 swg current carrying capacity
Ampacity of 16 awg copper wire?
I'm not sure if I understand your question but if you are asking if the wire number is the maximum amperage (current) it can hold the answer is NO. For example #8 copper wire will allow much more current (before melting) then #12 copper wire. Generally the higher the wire number the less amps it can hold.
