The current carrying capacity of a 10sqmm copper conductor depends on factors such as ambient temperature, insulation type, installation method, and conductor grouping. As a general guideline, for typical installation conditions, a 10sqmm copper conductor can carry around 40-50 amps of current. It is important to consult with local electrical codes and standards for precise values.

Can water conduct electricity?

Yes water is a very good conductor of electricity, that is why you are not supposed to take a shower in a lightning storm.


What will induce an electric current in a wire?

There are two ways of doing this; 1) moving a magnet perpendicular(at right angles) to a coil of wire 2) placing a coil of wire in close proximity to another coil carrying an AC current.


What conductor opposes the flow of electrons to convert electrical energy into thermal energy?

All conductors oppose electron current flow and warm up some, except the superconductors. That's because all conductors (save the superconductors) have some amount of resistance to the flow of current. That means any voltage applied will drive some current through a conductor, and the resistance will cause some amount of heating to take place. ======================================== Any conductor with a finite resistance (R > 0) will do. However, to be safe to the human operator and an efficient heat source, use a higher-resistance conductor wound in a spiral, such as the tungsten filament in an incandescent light bulb, which turns hot very quickly, but mostly emits infrared radiation (heat). Please check the related link for more information. ===============================


What is the ability to transfer an electric current?

Conductivity The ability or power to conduct or transmit heat, electricity, or sound.answer 2 An electric current can be transferred in an electrical conductor such as a wire. Alternating current may also be transferred by a transformer, in which none of the original electrons are present at the output, but they influence the current in the secondary winding.[A similar transfer can take place in a capacitor complex, but almost never met with.]And in thermionic valves, the input signal is used to control the flow of electrons in a different circuit. Similarly with transistor circuits.And, the original electric current could be converted to a radio wave, and transmitted.


Describe the path electrons take in a simple flashlight circuit?

In a simple flashlight circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery through the metal conductor to the light bulb, where they pass through the filament, creating light. The electrons then continue flowing through the metal conductor to the positive terminal of the battery, completing the circuit.

Explain what happens when a long straight conductor is moved through a uniform magnetic field at a constant velocity Assuming that the conductor moves perpendicularly to the field?

Interesting question. Because Fleming's right hand rule tells us that a conductor carrying a current perpedicular to a magnetic field will move in a particular direction we know that movement, current and magnetic field are related. So if we take the current away and instead force the conductor to move as described then we would observe a current in the wire. However, you have not said that your conductor is connected in a circuit - in which case the charge carriers in the conductor will tend to one side like a bar magnet.AnswerThe original answer is incorrect. A voltage would be induced into the conductor. No current would flow unless the conductor forms a continuous circuit.


How do you check the electrical current flowing to my shop?

The best way to check any current flow is with a clamp on amp meter. If you know any electricians they will have one. The meter just clamps on around the service conductor and the meter will read out what the current in the conductor at that moment. The amperage reading is dependant on what is operating in the shop at the time. to find out the total current flow turn everything on and take a reading.

How fast does the repelling and attracting action of the atoms of a good conductor take place?

The repelling and attracting actions between atoms in a good conductor occur almost instantaneously due to the high mobility of free electrons within the material. This rapid interaction enables the efficient flow of electrical current through the conductor.

What is the current rating of 25mm 4-core armoured cable?

You have to be specific. whether the conductor is aluminum or copper. Current carrying capacity will be different for these two types. Copper cable can take more load than aluminum cable for same diameter.

Why transformer action can take place in DC and ac circuit?

First understand that every electrical conductor (wire) with current flow through it will produce an invisible magnetic field around it. This field is directly proportional to the magnitude of current flowing. Second (and inversely) realize that any conductor moving through a magnetic field will produce a voltage, And if provided with a complete circuit (a path to flow in) will result in current flow in that conductor. The movement can be from the conductor moving, or from the magnetic field moving, as long as there is 'relative motion' between the conductor and the magnetic field. In short, a conductor with current flow produces a magnetic field , a conductor and a magnetic field with relative motion between them produces current flow. (This is also the basis for how a motor works) AC means 'Alternating Current'! The current flow moves in one direction along a conductor, then reverses to zero and to equal magnitude in the opposite direction. Each time this current changes direction it produces a magnetic field, as it returns to zero the field collapses. As the current builds in the opposite direction the magnetic field builds again. In an AC transformer circuit, two conductors are placed in close proximity to each other and an alternating current is applied to the first conductor. This alternating current causes a magnetic field to build around the conductor, then collapse, build again in the opposite polarity and so on. This expanding and collapsing magnetic field creates relative motion between the field and the second conductor which then produces current flow of its own. This is called "transformer Action". In steady state DC circuits, the magnetic field is constant and there is normally no relative motion, therefore no "transformer action". There is however still a relative motion created when the circuit is first energized, and when it is de-energized. This collapsing field is how the ignition coil in your car works. In the simplest form, contacts (points) were opened by a cam, the open contacts de-energized the first conductor (the 12VDC primary). The resulting collapsing field cut across the secondary conductors. Because these conductors were wound into many turns or "coils" it actually multiplies the effect producing a high voltage in the secondary (connected to the ignition wires). This produced a voltage and current strong enough to jump across the gap of a spark plug. And, Yes Virginia, there is such a thing as a DC transformer.
