True or False a stranded conductor with the same circular-mil rating of a solid conductor has a greater surface area and flexibility than the solid conductor.

Respuesta :

It is true that a standard conductor with the same circuit-mil rating of a solid conductor has a greater surface area and flexibility than the solid conductor.

A standard conductor consist of many thin wires of small cross-sectional areas called strands, because of this they can be coiled easily to transport current over long distances. Moreover, the flexibility of the standard conductor increases as the number of strands increase.

This standard conductor has better conductance than the solid conductor because the individual wires together have a greater surface area. This standard conductor is formed by twisting the strands to form layers. This process is called stranding.

The centre of the standard wire is made of steel strand that gives high tensile strength to the conductor and hence is more flexible along with having more surface area than the solid conductor.
