Compute the voltage drop along a 24-m length of household no. 14 copper wire (used in 15-A circuits). The wire has diameter 1.628 mm and carries a 13-A current. The resistivity of copper is 1.68×10−8Ω⋅m.

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that the formula for resistance in terms of length and area is given by

R = p l/ a

Where p be the resistivity and a be the area of crossection

a = pi × d^2 / 4

Where d be the diameter

a = 3.14 × (1.628 × 10^-3)^2 / 4

a = 2 × 10^-6 m^2

R = 1.68 × 10^-8 × 24 / (2 × 10^-6)

R = 20.16 × 10^-2 ohm

By use of Ohm's law

V = IR

V = 13 × 20.16 × 10^-2

V = 2.62 Volt
