Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of highe
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

24 - gauge wire , diameter = .51 mm .

Resistivity of copper ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-m

R = ρ l / s

1.72x 10⁻⁸ / [3.14 x( .51/2)² x 10⁻⁶ ]

= 8.42 x 10⁻² ohm

= .084 ohm

B )  Current required through this wire

= 12 / .084 A

= 142.85 A

C )

Let required length be l

resistance = .084 l

2 = 12 / .084 l

l = 12 / (2 x .084)

= 71.42 m
