Wires diameters are usually specified by a number called the gauge. The smaller gauge wire has a larger diameter. For example, a

22 gauge wire has a diameter of 0.65 mm while a 12 gauge wire has a diameter of 2.05 mm. It is believe that the gauge number originally referred to how many times the wire is passes through a draw plate. The wire becomes thinner each time it goes through the plate. You have some long wires of different gauges and lengths. Some of the wires are made of copper while others are made of aluminum. Which wire has the smallest resistance?

Answer:

Between a 12 gauge and a 22 gauge wire: the 12 gauge wire

Explanation:

Since the resistance in a wire is given by:

R=\rho*\frac{L}{A}

If both wires are made out of copper, the resistivity \rho is the same.

The difference will remain in the cross area. The one with less area is the one with the greatest resistance.

Between the 2 gauge wires (22 and 12), the 12 gauge wire, with a diameter of 2.05mm is the one with smallest resistance.

Where would you find convergent and divergent plate boundaries relative to
Sergio [31]

Answer:

When two tectonic plates meet, we get a “plate boundary.” There are three major types of plate boundaries, each associated with the formation of a variety of geologic features.

How do the current and coltage readings compare to before the wires were switched. Explain how to interpret them physically?
Blababa [14]
  • The potential difference between two locations in an electric circuit is measured using a voltmeter.
  • If the electricity passes through the voltmeter it shows deflection.

<h3>What is the purpose of a voltmeter?</h3>
  • A voltage meter, usually referred to as a voltmeter, is a device that measures the voltage, or potential difference, between two points in an electrical or electronic circuit.
  • volts is the unit of voltmeter(volts, millivolts, kilovolts)

<h3>What is the explanation for the link between current and voltage?</h3>
  • Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant.

<h3>What is ohm's law in circuit?</h3>
  • V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance, is known as Ohm's Law.
  • If you know the voltage of the battery in the circuit and how much resistance is in the circuit, you may use Ohm's Law to identify properties of a circuit, such as how much current is flowing through it.

Melting Ice is what kind of reaction
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Answer is Endothermic Reaction

Explanation:

Basically, melting ice is an endothermic reaction because the ice absorbs (heat) energy, which causes a change to occur.

I hope it's helpful!!
