Question:

Hello! I want to know if wires containing ferrite consumes more electricity than wires that don't have. thnx!?

@topicAnd does the size of the wire matter in electrical consumption?

Answer:

Simple as I can make it: The size of the wire, and the material it is made of will govern it's resistance for a given length. A large wire will have less resistance than a smaller one of the same material. Ferrite will have more resistance than copper or aluminum. In power transmission lower resistance means lower losses. In a resistance heater, lower resistance means greater consumption. (More power will flow, More heat will be produced).
Wires that contain ferrite should not consume more electricity than wires that made of copper or aluminum. It also does not matter what the size of the wire is for electrical consumption. The size of the wire and the material it is made of determines how much resistance there will be for the electricity to flow through the wire. Consumption is based on the voltage, amperage and wattage that is running through the wire to power an electrical device.
