By now you should be well aware of the correlation between electrical conductivity and certain types of materials. Those materials…
It should be common-sense knowledge that liquids flow through large-diameter pipes easier than they do through small-diameter pipes (if you…
The smaller the wire, the greater the resistance for any given length, all other factors being equal. A wire with…
Normally, the ampacity rating of a conductor is a circuit design limit never to be intentionally exceeded, but there is…
Conductor ampacity rating is a crude assessment of resistance based on the potential for current to create a fire hazard.…
You might have noticed on the table for specific resistances that all figures were specified at a temperature of 20o…
Conductors lose all of their electrical resistance when cooled to super-low temperatures (near absolute zero, about -273o Celsius). It must…
The atoms in insulating materials have very tightly-bound electrons, resisting free electron flow very well. However, insulators cannot resist indefinite…
