Chapter 8, Problem 8.28P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The tensile strength of pure copper wire is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Copper wire is available in cylindrical shapes. Alloys of copper and copper are using for electrical connections. For copper industry, electric wiring is one of most common applications of copper. Other applications of copper are as follows −

• Transmission of power
• Power generation
• Distribution of power
• Telecommunications
• Electronics circuits
• Electrical equipemts (Countless type)

Maximum amount of tensile strength is available in the copper wire before its breaks.
