Chapter 3, Problem 16P
- Compare the area of a #20 hookup wire to a #10 house romax wire. Did the change in area substantiate the general rule that a drop of 10 gage numbers results in a tenfold increase in the area of the wire?
- Compare the area of a #20 wire with that of a #40 wire. How many times larger in area is the #20 wire than the #40 wire? Did the result support the rule of part (a)?
