I'm doing the Mike Holt series of workbooks for basic electrical theory (I also have a test tonight at school), and I'd just like to check my work to make sure I'm "gettin' it" if you know what I mean.
Question #32:
What is the voltage drop of two 12 AWG conductors, each 100 feet in length, supplying a 2-wire, 16A Load? The resistance of 12 AWG conductors is 2? per 1,000 feet.
So, Evd = I X R
I = 16
R = 2? per 1000'/ 1000 = 0.002
.002 x 200' (round trip) = 0.4
E = I (16) X R (0.4)
Evd = 6.4v
----------------------------
Correct?
