What else can I help you with?
Does the Nec allow grounding electrode conductor to be run in conduit that has other conductors in the conduit and what code section?
No, the bare copper grounding conductor can not be in a conduit with other conductors. It can be in conduit by itself to provide mechanical protection for the wire.
What Article and Section of the National Electrical Code allows the use of a white wire as an ungrounded conductor?
Nfpa 70 2008 nec 200.7 (c) 2
What is the resistance of a conductor of length 2 meters and area of cross section 1.55 meters square if restivity of the conductors is 2.8?
Work it out for yourself. The equation is: R = resistivity x (length/area). Incidentally, 1.55 m2 is an enormous area, if you are describing a conductor!!!! And 2.8 doesn't appear to represent a practical value of resistivity.
How does a resistance of a wire depend on its radius?
Resistance is inversely-proportional to the cross-sectional area of a conductor. For example, doubling its cross-sectional area will halve its resistance, while halving its cross-sectional area will double its resistance.Since the cross-sectional area of a circular-section conductor is proportional to the square of its radius, doubling that radius will reduce its resistance by one quarter, while halving its radius will quadruple its resistance.
When the diameter of a conductor is doubled what happens to its resistance?
Resistance will decreases... Because R is inversely proportional to Area of the conductor.AnswerIf the conductor has a circular cross-sectional area, then doubling the diameter will reduce the resistance to one quarter of its original distance. This is because area is proportional to the square of the radius, and resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area.
Will an increase of applied voltage decrease the resistance of a copper conductor?
No, the resistance is fixed by the cross section and length of the conductor and does not vary with voltage.
Why does Resistance decrease in thin wire?
Area of cross section: Resistance R is inversely proportional to the area of cross section ( A) of the conductor. This means R will decrease with increase in the area of conductor and vice versa. More area of conductor facilitates the flow of electric current through more area and thus decreases the resistance. This is the cause that thick copper wire creates less resistance to the electric current.
How would resistance depend on cross section and length of the material?
Resistance R =p(L /A)i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor will be directly proportional to its length(L) ==> if the length of the conductor increases its resistance also will increase.i,e Resistance(R) of a conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A) ==> if the Area of the conductor increases its resistance also will decrease.
What is skin effect in power system?
DEFINITION: Nonuniform density of current due to its characteristic to flow more at the surface of the conductor than that of the other section of the conductor called Skin Effect in power system.EFFECT: Due to the skin effect, whole section of the conductor can not be utilized properly. Moreover, skin effect causes increment in effective resistance of the conductor and in power loss.
What are the two factors on which the resistance of a cylindrical conductors depends?
For conductor the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the length (L) of the conductor, and the area of cross-section (A). When you stretch the conductor to increase its length, its area of cross-section will decrease. The decrease in area of cross-section can be found in the following way: The volume of the cylinder will remain same. The initial volume of the cylinder is = A Х L Suppose, the area of cross-section becomes A/ and the resistance becomes R/. Hence, the resistance increases 4 times. Hope this helps you, Keep posting and have a nice day!
What is a sentence for the word conductor?
"The conductor forgot to lead the woodwind section in the third part."
What is the skin effect in transmission lines?
It is the tendency of alternating current to flow more in the outer part of the conductor than in the centre. This reduces the effective cross-section area of the conductor. For this reason conductors with a diameter of more than about 30 mm are uncommon.
What will the current-carrying capacity be if a conductor has a diameter of one half inch but there is a nick in one section so that the diameter of that section is one fourth inch?
The current-carrying capacity will decrease due to the reduced cross-sectional area of the nicked section. The exact reduction will depend on the length of the nicked section and its impact on the overall flow of current. It is important to assess the extent of damage and consult relevant standards or guidelines to determine the safe current-carrying capacity of the conductor in such a scenario.
Why does the skin effect in radio frequency caused?
Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to distribute itself within a conductor so that the current density near the surface of the conductor is greater than that at its core. That is, the electric current tends to flow at the "skin" of the conductor, at an average depth called the skin depth. The skin effect causes the effective resistance of the conductor to increase with the frequency of the current because much of the conductor does little. Skin effect is due to eddy currents set up by the AC current. At 60 Hz in copper, skin depth is about a centimetre. At high frequencies skin depth is much smaller.
Why we should have difference between dc and ac resistance?
Resistance is inversely-proportional to the cross-sectional area of a conductor. When a d.c. current flows, the charge carriers distribute themselves across the whole of the conductor's cross-section. When a.c. current flows, due to something called the 'skin effect', the charge carriers tend to flow towards the surface of the conductor -thus reducing the effective cross-sectional area of the conductor. So, the resistance to a.c. is higher than the resistance to d.c. At mains' frequencies (50/60 Hz), the 'skin effect' is relatively low, but the effect increases significantly with an increase in frequency. So the difference between 'd.c. resistance' and 'a.c. resistance' increases as the frequency increases.
Factors affecting resistance of a metal conductor?
The material, the length, the cross section.
What do we call a person who guides an orchestra during a performance?
The conductor is the one who conducts the orchestra, managing speed, dynamics and instructing each instrumental section when to enter, and so forth.
