Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider 1.0 meter of 24-gauge copper wire. Calculate the resistance
of this wire.
Please enter a numerical answer below. Accepted formats are numbers
or "e" based scientific notation e.g. 0.23, -2, 1e6, 5.23e-8
Enter answer here
ohms

Transcribed Image Text:Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge)
system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of higher gauge.
Thus the thin 24-gauge wire included in many electronics kits has a wire
diameter of 0.51 mm, while a thicker 12-gauge wire used for many home
audio speakers has a wire diameter of 2.05 mm. Different gauge wires
have different maximum current ratings, with thicker wires being capable
of safely handling larger current.
