Question

Find the conductance of a 500 ft long #12AWG wire made up of copper. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

Length of the wire l=500 ft

The material of the wire: Copper

The wire is of type #12 AWG.

Step 2

The conductance (G) of the wire can be computed as

G=Alρ--->(1) where

A=Cross-section area of the wirel= Length of the wireρ= Resistivity of the material of the wire
