Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A household has a circuit with a total of 12 sockets, each drawing 8 A. If the supply is 240 V, analyze the total current running and determine if the wiring is adequate if each wire can handle 20 A.
💡 Hint: Always check the rating against the load.
If a length of 50 m of 1.5 mm² copper wire carries 20 A, what is the voltage drop? Consider that the resistance of 1.5 mm² wire is approximately 0.012 Ω/m.
💡 Hint: Start with calculating the wire's total resistance.
