Question
2. An air conditioner draws 14.0 A at 220-V. The connecting cord is copper wire (resistivity of
copper is 1.68 x 1082 . m) with a diameter of 1.628 mm.
a. How much power does the air conditioner draw?
b. If the total length of the wire is 15.0 m, how much power is dissipated in the wiring?
c. If #12 wire, with a diameter of 2.053 mm, was used instead, how much power would be
dissipated in the wiring?
d. Assuming that the air conditioner is run 12.0 hours per day, how much money per month
(30 days) would be saved by using #12 wire? Assume that electricity costs $0.120 per
kilowatt-hour.
