Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A building requires 500 meters of wiring for a renovation. If solid copper wire is used, what is the total conductor weight if the diameter of the wire is 1 mm, given that the density of copper is 8.96 g/cm³?

💡 Hint: Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: πr²h.

Question 2

During a review, an engineer found that using AWG 14 instead of AWG 12 for a circuit reduced the current carrying capacity by 25%. If AWG 12 has a capacity of 20 Amps, calculate the new capacity for AWG 14.

💡 Hint: Think about proportionate reductions.
