:Done (commented out). A working one with real units could be substituted or built on this. [[Special:Contributions/91.154.87.201|91.154.87.201]] ([[User talk:91.154.87.201|talk]]) 11:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Can this above rubbish go please?--DaveDodgy (talk) 15:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Highest resistivity?

What's the highest resistivity resistance wire available? I know you can get wirewound resistors used for high voltage 'ballast' resistors in gas LASERs that are in the 100's of KΩ. So what are they made of? Or are they just normal resistance wire but ULTRA thin ?

When making a heating element, would a higher resistivity resistance wire be more efficient? And therefore drain a battery LESS, to provide the same amount of heat? --DaveDodgy (talk) 15:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Table

It should be removed. There is no source provided. Plus it is misleading since resistance will vary drastically with wire thickness (important data that is not included on the table). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.1.235 (talk) 23:41, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
