Question

The length of the 220 V AC mains line supplying a 2.5 kW washing machine is 12 m. If a 2.5 mm² insulated copper conductor is used for this line, check whether the conductor cross-section is appropriate according to the voltage drop limit specified in the electrical indoor installation regulation. Note: The copper wire conductivity coefficient is 56 siemens (m/Ωmm²).

You have some copper wire that you want to connect from a power supply to a $150-\Omega$ load. The wire is a standard 24 -gauge (diameter $0.51 \mathrm{~mm}$ ). What's the maximum length of wire you can use without its resistance exceeding $1 \%$ of the load resistance? Note: You're finding the total length of wire to and from the load.

An electrical power line is designed to have a resistance of 75 m̦ per kilometer of length. If the power line is to be made of copper, what should the diameter of the copper cable be to meet the required specification?

00:02 In this question, we have a power supply that is connected to a 150 oom resistor, and then the rest of the circuit is connected by copper wire, and then we want to find the maximum length of the wire so that the resistance of the wire is less than 1 % of the load resistance.
00:29 So to do this question, we'll be using...
00:37 R equals to rl divided by a, okay, and then a is pi r square, which is one quarter, pi d square.
00:49 Okay, so we want to find the length of the wire...
