SUMMARY
The discussion emphasizes the critical importance of low resistance per unit length in electrical cables, particularly for long connections to appliances. A low resistance allows for a larger current to flow, which is essential for the proper operation of electrical devices. Additionally, maintaining low resistance minimizes energy loss through heat dissipation, enhancing overall efficiency. The conversation also highlights the relationship between cable resistance and the Thevenin equivalence circuit, underscoring the need for low resistance to reduce energy loss.
