QUESTION:

PE 00-gauge copper wire has a diameter of 9.266 mm.Calculate the power loss in 2 ? a kilometer of such wire when it carries 1.00 × 10? A .

ANSWER:

Step-by-step solution Given = Diameter of the wire = 9.266 mm. Current in the wire = 1.00×10 A. 2 Resistivity of the copper wire = 1.72 x -8 10 .m Calculate: Power loss = Step 1 o f 4 As we know that, The power loss is due to the heating of the wire and that can be calculated by equation (1) below 2 P = I R………………(1) Here, R is the resistance of the wire and I is the current flowing through wire.
