Different Types of wires
Product Code : JA-PLE-4259
The Different Types of Wires listing (SKU JA-PLE-4259) covers the laboratory wires a physics department uses every term: bare and double-cotton-covered copper wire, Eureka (constantan), nichrome and manganin resistance wires, brass sonometer wire, steel wire and soft stainless steel wire. Each is supplied by S.W.G. gauge in 100 g packs, with larger packs for the common copper and resistance wires. These resistance and connecting wires for physics labs suit school, college and polytechnic practicals.
Specifications
Wires are listed by material, S.W.G. gauge and pack size as shown below; bare copper, Eureka and nichrome wires are wound on reels.

Applications of laboratory resistance and connecting wires
Physics practicals consume wire constantly: resistance wires form the test pieces for resistivity and bridge experiments, copper wire makes connections and coils, and brass and steel wires are the strings of sonometers and the test wires of Young's modulus apparatus.
- Specific resistance and meter bridge experiments with Eureka, nichrome and manganin wire
- Winding coils and making connections with bare and D.C.C. copper wire
- Sonometer experiments with brass and steel wire
- Young's modulus experiments with steel wire
- Heating-element and resistance demonstrations with nichrome wire
- General laboratory use of soft non-magnetic stainless steel wire
