Do magnets repel or attract copper wire?
Magnets attract copper wire as long as the wire is not magnetized. However, if the copper wire becomes magnetized, it can repel or attract other magnets depending on its polarity.
Which wire would have the lowest resistance a long thin iron wire at a high temperature or a short thick copper wire at a low temperature?
The short thick copper wire at a low temperature would have the lowest resistance. Copper has lower electrical resistance than iron, and a shorter, thicker wire has lower resistance compared to a long thin wire, regardless of the temperature.
Can you splice solid copper wire to stranded copper wire?
It is not recommended to splice solid copper wire with stranded copper wire as they have different properties and may lead to a poor connection. It is best to use a junction box or a suitable connector designed for connecting different wire types to ensure a secure and reliable connection.
Dose recycled copper wire be come new copper wire?
Copper wire sent for recycling is remelted and rerefined. It becomes a new copper product one of which might be new copper wire.
If a copper wire in a working electric circuit is replaced by a piece of rubber tubing will there be a current in the circuit?
No, a rubber tubing is an insulator and will not allow the flow of electric current like a conductor such as copper wire would. Therefore, if the copper wire is replaced by rubber tubing, the circuit will be broken and no current will flow.
