causes adjacent wires carrying the same current to have more resistance at higher frequencies. A changing magnetic field will influence the distribution...

designed to reduce the skin effect and proximity effect losses in conductors used at frequencies up to about 1 MHz. It consists of many thin wire strands...

skin effect can be mitigated by using a specialized multistrand wire called litz wire. Because the interior of a large conductor carries little of the current...

A wire is a flexible, round, bar of metal. Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Wire gauges come in various...

zip cord. The effect of speaker wire upon the signal it carries has been a much-debated topic in the audiophile and high fidelity worlds. The accuracy...

The Wire is an American crime drama television series created and primarily written by American author and former police reporter David Simon. The series...

cuts on anyone attempting to climb through or over it and therefore also has a strong psychological deterrent effect. Razor wire is used in many security...

simply a wire. To avoid the erosion of the wire causing it to break, the wire is wound between two spools so that the active part of the wire is constantly...

American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a logarithmic stepped standardized wire gauge system used since 1857, predominantly in North America, for the diameters of...

two-wire ICs may operate from a single supply line, to further reduce wiring. Hall effect switches for computer keyboards were developed in the late...

The Hall effect is the production of a potential difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor that is transverse to an electric current...

manifestations of the same physical process; textbooks may refer to this process as the Peltier–Seebeck effect (the separation derives from the independent...

together. The twist pattern ensures that each wire strand spends the same amount of its length on the outside of the wire bundle, so skin effect distributes...

efficiency. A three-wire three-phase circuit is usually more economical than an equivalent two-wire single-phase circuit at the same line-to-ground voltage...

In physics, the observer effect is the disturbance of an observed system by the act of observation. This is often the result of utilizing instruments...

it is more difficult to push water through a long, narrow pipe than a wide, short pipe. In the same way, a long, thin copper wire has higher resistance...

Trapezoidal-shaped wire (TW) can be used in lieu of round wire in order to "fill in the gaps" and have a 10–15% smaller overall diameter for the same cross-sectional...

purpose. The single-wire transmission line is not the same as the single-wire earth return system, which is not covered in this article. The latter system...

significantly different from the air around them (St. Elmo's fire). In many high voltage applications, corona is an unwanted side effect. Corona discharge from...
