A number 14 copper wire has a diameter of 1.628 mm. Calculate
the resistance of a 34.0 m long piece of such wire.
(Use 1.72×10-8 Ωm for the resistivity of copper.)
2.809×10-1 Ohm
For safety, the National Electrical Code limits the allowable
amount of current which such a wire may carry. When used in indoor
wiring, the limit is 15.0 A for rubber insulated wire of that size.
How much power would be dissipated in the wire of the above problem
when carrying the maximum allowable current?
6.321×101 W
What would be the voltage between the ends of the wire in the above problem?
4.214 V
What is the current density in the wire when it is carrying the maximum allowable current? (Current density is the current in the wire divided by the cross sectional area of the wire.)
NEED HELP
What is the drift velocity of the electrons when the wire is
carrying the maximum allowable current?
(The density of electrons in copper is 8.47×1028
m-3.)
