Wire 1 has radius R, and wire 2 has radius 2R. Wire 1 has length L and wire 2 has length 2L. Since resistance is inversely proportional to cross sectional area and proportional to length resistance of wire 1 is:
c*L/pi*R^2, where c is a constant based on the material.
The resistance of wire 2 is:
c * 2L/pi *(2R)^2, or squaring the 2R term we have c * 2L/pi * 4R^2, and simplifying we have: c*L/2pi*R^2.
Now, to get the ratio of wire 1 to wire 2 we divide equation 1 by equation 2 and simplify:
c*L/pi*R^2 / c*L/2pi * R^2. When you divide a fraction by another fraction you invert and multiply, so this becomes
c*L *2piR^2 / c*L *pi * R^2. Each of the variables cancel leaving the ratio of resistance of wire 1 to wire 2 is 2:1, or wire 1 has twice the resistance of wire 2 even though wire 2 is twice as long.
An Alternative AnswerResistance is directly proportional to length, and inversely proportional to cross sectional area. The cross-sectional area of a circle is proportional to the square of the diameter. So, conductor 2 is twice as long, so you can double its resistance; but its diameter is doubled, so its resistance is then reduced by a quarter. So the resistance of conductor 2 is half that of conductor 1!
they are all made of metal and have wires
the resistance is depends on the type of the metal and ith length
well ummm...... the circuit has metal in it to carry on the wires!
ON the cad offset the bend radius from the internal radius of the sheet metal part by 40% of the total sheet thickness,and measure the chord length of the radius. that will be the developed length.
Metal will conduct the power along its length. Metal also gives the power cable strength to withstand adverse weather conditions.
Approximately 127 cm length of a wire with a diameter of 1mm can be used to make a 1cm cube of metal.
All wires have a resistance, as does everything else in the universe. Conductors like metal and carbon generally have low resistances where as non conductors have a very high resistance. Think of it like friction, but electric.
metal if its not metal than its not a wire
The wires themselves are usually made of a metal such as copper.

Pipes, wires.
copperr
That's going to depend on: -- the thickness of the pipe's walls -- the length of the piece you want to buy -- the material of which the pipe is composed -- where you buy it
Metal wires are single strands of flexible material often used to carry electrical currents, telecommunication signals, and hold mechanical loads.
An iPod is made out of glass,plastic,metal,wires,and a sensor for tough screen.
hmm not sure what grounding wires your talking about but most wires bolted to metal are ground wires
