Chapter 3, Problem 15P
- Compare the area of a #12 wire with the area of a #9 wire. Did the change in area substantiate the general rule that a drop of three gage numbers results in a doubling of the area?
- Compare the area of a #12 wire with that of a #0 wire. How many times larger in area is the #0 wire compared to the #12 wire? Is the result significant? Compare it to the change in maximum current rating for each.
