Chapter 18 Problem 76

Question

76. An air conditioner draw's 12 A at 220-V ac. The connecting cord is copper wire with a diameter of 1.628 mm. (a) How much power does the air conditioner draw? (6) If the total length of wire is 15 m. howr much power is dissipated in the wiring? (c) If no. 12 wire, with a diameter of 2.053 mm. wras used instead. howr much pow-er would be dissipated? (d) Assuming that the air conditioner is run 12 h per day. how much money per month (30 days) would be saved by using no. 12 wire? Assume that the cost of electricity is 12 cents per kWh.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 18 problem number 76 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 76. An air conditioner draw's 12 A at 220-V ac. The connecting cord is copper wire with a diameter of 1.628 mm. (a) How much power does the air conditioner draw? (6) If the total length of wire is 15 m. howr much power is dissipated in the wiring? (c) If no. 12 wire, with a diameter of 2.053 mm. wras used instead. howr much pow-er would be dissipated? (d) Assuming that the air conditioner is run 12 h per day. how much money per month (30 days) would be saved by using no. 12 wire? Assume that the cost of electricity is 12 cents per kWh.
From the textbook chapter Electric Currents you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
