AWG 12 is the perfect gauge of wire for a 20 amp breaker. You can expect it to safely carry up to 100 feet. You can size up to an AWG 10 copper wire if you plan on going longer than 100 feet. You’ll find these in kitchens and garages as they are used to power up big ...
Take your red, green, and white wires (10 gauge wire size) and insert them into the electrical panel and the weatherproof box. For the weatherproof outlet box: The hot wire goes into the copper connector. The neutral wire goes into the silver connector. Insert the ground wire into the gro...
Question: A copper wire has a diameter of 1.532 mm. What magnitude current flows when the drift velocity is 0.500 {eq}\frac{mm}{s}{/eq}? Drift Velocity When a voltage is applied across a wire, an electric field set up inside the wire due to ...
An 18-gauge copper wire (diameter 1.02 mm) carries a current with a current density of 1.50 \times 10^6 A/m^2 . Copper has 8.5 \times 10^{28}free electrons per cubic meter. (a) Calculate the current Copper wire...
