Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Always check the rating against the load.

Question 2

If a length of 50 m of 1.5 mmΒ² copper wire carries 20 A, what is the voltage drop? Consider that the resistance of 1.5 mmΒ² wire is approximately 0.012 Ξ©/m.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Start with calculating the wire's total resistance.
