The Aluminum Electrical Conductor Handbook lists a dc resistance of 0.01558 ohm per 1000 ft at 20C and a 60-Hz resistance of 0.0956 ohm per mile at 50C for the all-aluminum Marigold conductor, which has 61 strands and whose size is 1113 kcmil. Assuming an increase in resistance of 2 for spiraling, calculate and verify the dc resistance. Then calculate the dc resistance at 50C, and determine the percentage increase due to skin effect.

A lead conductor is 5cm in length and 8 sq. cm in cross-sectioned area. The terminals to be joined by this conductor are 8 cm apart. Hence, the conductor was pounded and reshaped until it is 8 cm long. If the resulting conductor has uniform cross-sectional area, determine the resistance. Resistivity of lead is 22x10^-8 Ω-m.
