 Pick a Wire -- Change a Wire







You can change the properties of a wire by changing the length or the cross-sectional area of wires.

Length

To see how changing the length of a wire affects strength, stiffness, and range, enter the original length and new length, then click "Calculate." You will see the ratio of the new strength, stiffness, and range to the old.

Change length of wire from:
to:

Strength =
Stiffness =
Range =

Cross-Sectional Area

To see how the cross-sectional area of a wire affects strength, stiffness, and range, enter the original and new cross-sectional areas, then click "Calculate." You will see the ratios of the new strength, stiffness, and range to the old.

Change cross-sectional area of wire from:
to:

Strength =
Stiffness =
Range =
