Question:

For safety reasons, electrical codes have been established that limit the amount of current a wire of a given size can carry. For example, an 18-gauge (cross-sectional area = 0.823 mm2), rubber-insulated extension cord with copper wires can carry a maximum current of 5.0 A. Find the voltage drop in a 12-ft, 18-gauge extension cord carrying a current of 5.0 A?
