Most wire or string is made with a circular cross section of some particular radius and diameter. The area of that cross section is the well known A = pi*R² which is colloquially pronounced as “pie ...
When installing conductors of different sizes (or types of insulation) in a raceway, you can’t size the raceway based on Tables 1 through 12 in Annex C. You must instead follow this three-step process ...
A second experiment can be carried out to investigate experimentally how the resistance of a metallic conductor at constant temperature depends on the area of cross section. The above experiment is ...
