Alright, so looking at how a 40-gauge wire being extremely thin and having high resistance(with respect to it's length), having an extremely short 40-gauge wire(about 1mm), it's possible to maintain 10A or possibly more? I know it's resistance is about 0.002 ohms, which is some what the same...

Hi! The question is simple, seemingly... Doubling the length of a wire, doubles the resistance of the wire... Why? There is one interesting point to it: Doubling the length of the wire also makes the ELECTRIC FIELD weaker TWO times. That automatically makes the current smaller two times...

Hey guys, I've been researching on the internet for some time, and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I purchased solar powered single LED garden lights yesterday and am going to convert them to be able to plug into an outlet in the house. I've been reading some forums and everybody seems...

So I have earphones with a built in mic and the 3.5mm jack was broken so I cut the cable at the base where it meets the jack. And I have another 3.5mm headphone jack from some old headphones that has the wires for the built in miss as well. I was wondering which wires go together. On the...

I hope this is posted in the correct thread. When I was still in my physics class, we learned that a loop of wire with current can act as a self inductor. Just to refresh my memory: A loop of wire carrying current has a magnetic field around it due to current, however if the current changes...
