What is the total voltage drop in a 12 AWG conductor that supply a 18 ampere load which is located 50 feet from the power source? The resistance of conductor is 2 ohm/1000 feet.
A
1.8 volts
explanation
Total Resistance of conductor for 50 feet length = 2/1000 * 50 = 0.1 ohm; Voltage Drop = IR = 18 x 0.1 = 1.8 volts
