Homework Statement
What effects occur on a conductor within a circuit, for example copper wires - what can effect them and what can be done to control the effect?
Homework Equations
None
The Attempt at a Solution
I have no real understanding of electrics but one attempt is:
Heat, a conductor creates heat when the resistance is high and this can expand the copper --- but i don't even know what exactly would happen other than the circuit would overheat?? and to minimise this you'd control the temperatures within the environment of the circuit??
Thats one effect i believe there's bound to be others? please list as many as you can, i want a better understanding of this, i can't get my head around it - I am not an electrician which doesn't help lol
Thanks for any advice and help.
