Area of Conductor
1 answer
The area of a conductor refers to the total cross-sectional area of the material that carries an electric current. It is usually measured in square meters (m^2) or square millimeters (mm^2). The area of a conductor determines its ability to conduct electric current and is a crucial factor in determining its resistance. A larger cross-sectional area allows for more current to flow through the conductor, while a smaller cross-sectional area restricts the flow of current.
