Question

which wire can a carry higher current? stranded or solid ​

Answer 1

Answer: Stranded

Explanation :-

"In solid wire of same length resistance of that wire is higher than stranded wire".

Hence stranded wire carries more current than solid wire due to lower resistance.

Thus due to extra surface area more surface current flows Therefore in stranded wire current flow is more.

Answer 2

A stranded conductor is capable of carrying a higher current than a solid conductor.

• Solid conductors are made of a single piece of metal. On the other side, stranded conductors contain multiple small strands. All these small strands are put together to make one conductor.
• A stranded conductor is more flexible than a solid conductor but not that durable.
• A solid conductor can flex many times while carrying a higher current than a stranded conductor. It can be the reason for its failure.
