The simplest answer wins

Hello there,

I have two questions. If someone would answer them for me in just one sentense would be great.

Why do electric cables very in width?

How does this vary resistance?

Cheers and thanks in advance

To carry a greater load
the bigger CSA of the wire the less resistance

Large cables have a much higher resistance to being pulled through a small hole.:tongue3:

They just do.

What did I win?

 

[Deleted member 26818]

Cables vary in width due to the intended current carrying capacity of the cable, the intended use for the cable, and due to various manufacturing processes.
This may or may not affect resistance.

thicker cables are more stupid. they will carry more current because they don't know that it's dangerous.

Do they even have cables in a sausage????

Do they even have cables in a sausage????

of course they do. what do you think holds them in a string?

 

[baldsparkies]

And I always thought.
The resistance of a cable is proportional to its cross sectional area, and inversely proportional to its length provided the temperature remains ambient.
So combined with do yer own homework, I'm not doing it for you. (As Dave says)
The OP should be able to draft and conclude his own one sentence answer.
This provides him with a sense of self achievement, and makes him the winner of his own post.
Great forum aint it, always here to help. :lol:
