A solid wire is intended to be used in a fixed position. It is installed, fastened in place, and left there. If bent repeatedly, the wire will break from meal fatigue. However, flexible wires, such as those in an extension cord or an appliance cord, consist of many fine strands of wire that ARE made to be bent and bent back without breaking.

What is the main difference between FCAW and GMAW?
GMAW (solid wire) vs. FCAW (flux-cored wire). The Most important difference between FCAW and GMAW is welding wire,
Does stranded wires have more resistance than a solid wire?
That depends on the metal composition of the wire, the diameter of the conductor and the amount of energy being applied. In general though a stranded wire of the same composition as a solid wire does not have more resistance.
What is the word for the meaning 'a flexible strand of metal'?
flexible strand of metal = wire
What two things are needed to make electrons move along a wire?
-- voltage difference (electromotive force) between the ends of the wire; -- conductive substance comprising the wire.
Difference between uninsulated and insulated wire?
An Insulated wire is one which has a coating of Heat Shrink Tubing, usually for safety; and an Uninsulated wire on the other hand does not have a coating of Heat Shrink Tubing.
What is the main difference between FCAW and GMAW?
GMAW (solid wire) vs. FCAW (flux-cored wire). The Most important difference between FCAW and GMAW is welding wire,
Is there a difference between wire rope and stranded wire?
Wire rope has finer strands and more of them. Because of this, rope is more flexible and stronger. Rope tends to unroll and stranded wire will stay bent.
What is the difference between a joint and a splice?
Splice uses stranded wires while joint uses solid wire.
What is the meaning of solid wire?
Wire can be fabricated in two different forms. Solid wire refers to a single wire, while stranded wire is a wire which is made up of more than one single solid wire twisted together. A stranded wire is much more flexible, and less subject to breaking from flexing than a stranded wire of the same size.
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
What solid and multi-stranded cables?

The difference between enameled wire and magnet wire?
An important type of winding wire

Electrons are made to flow in a wire when there is?
... a potential difference between the ends of the wire.
Is there a difference between black wire and red wire?
Yes, the red wire is a positive wire (+) and the black wire is a negative wire (-) :D
Does stranded wires have more resistance than a solid wire?
That depends on the metal composition of the wire, the diameter of the conductor and the amount of energy being applied. In general though a stranded wire of the same composition as a solid wire does not have more resistance.
What is the difference between stranded copper and tinseld copper wire?
bare copper is pure copper, while tinned copper is having light coating of Tin over it, preferred where soldering phenomenon is req. while the bare copper is good conductor then tinned copper.
