The resistance of 8 copper wire is 064 w per 1000 feet and


The resistance of 8 copper wire is 0.64 W per 1000 feet and with a certain type of insulation it can safely carry 40 A without overheating. If the wire is carrying the maximum current:

a. What voltage (magnitude only) exists between the ends of a one-mile length of wire? Model the wire as a single resistor.

b. The current is flowing east to west in the conductor. Which end of the conductor has a higher voltage (potential)?

c. How much power is dissipated in the conductor?
