Why do the French use single core copper wire for house wiring whereas in the UK we use multi-strand?

In the North American market, solid core is used for home wiring where flexibility is not a problem with installation. Conduit systems use stranded wire because of its flexibility when being pulled into a conduit system that has multiple bends between pull boxes.

What wire size for 100 amp single phase 3 wire commercial service?
2 copper
What wire gauge is needed for a single phase 60 amp circuit?
#6 wire is good for 65 Amps as long as it is type THHN.
What are the Advantage of three phase motors over single phase?
A 3 phase system needs only to use 3 or 4 conductors, as against 6 conductors if it were 3, single phase conductors The amount of copper used in a 3 phase is much less than what would be needed in a single phase system carrying the same current, this reduction in copper allows for weight reduction and cost savings. The power losses in a 3 phase system are much less than in a single phase system.
What size wire and breaker for a 240 volt single phase 20 kw electric furnace rated at 83.3 amps?
AWG #3 copper.
What is the ampacity of a single number 10 copper wire with type the insulation used in free air with ambient temp of 158 Fahrenheit?
Code test question.30 amps maximum.
What are solid electrical cables and there applications?
A given crosssection or diameter of the conductor can be obtained by a single strand wire or with many smaller diameter wires put together. For example a 4 sqmm wire can be one solid wire of 4sqmm or can comprise many smaller diameter wires twined together. A solid wire is more rigid whereas multistrand wire is flexible. A solid wire may not need a terminating lug, whereas a multistrand wire needs a terminal lug for termination / connection to a terminal block

How many atoms are there in a copper and what are they?
Copper is an element. You can have a single atom or many atoms and it's still copper.
Was a strip of magnesium metal into a solution of copper sulfate a chemical change?
Yes. The magnesium metal replaces the copper in the copper sulfate. This is a single replacement or single displacement reaction.
