Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 14P
- In construction the two most common wires employed in general house wiring are #12 and #14, although #12 wire is the most common because it is rated at 20 A. How much larger in area (by percent) is the #12 wire compared to the #14 wire?
- The maximum rated current for #14 wire is 15 A. How does the ratio of maximum current levels compare to the ratio of the areas of the two wires?
