Perfect conductors and insulators are idealizations. All real materials have a finite conductance or resistance. We wish to distribute power from a 64 VDC battery bank to a 1 KW load through copper wires 2 mm in diameter. The equivalent length of the wire the battery bank sees is 1000 m. The resistivity of copper is about 1.7x10-8 2-m. Compute the wire resistance. Estimate the power lost as heat through the wire. ما
