    15. You have a #8 AWG stranded copper conductor with 0.778 ohms of resistance for each 1,000 feet of length.  If you run that cabling 100 feet between the power plant and the load, the total resistance would be 

    • A. 

      77.8 ohms 

    • B. 

      155.6 ohms 

    • C. 

      0.1556 ohms 

    • D. 

      0.00778 ohms

    Correct Answer
    D. 0.00778 ohms
    Explanation
    The resistance of the copper conductor is given as 0.778 ohms for every 1,000 feet. Since the length of the cable run is only 100 feet, we need to calculate the resistance for this length. To do this, we can use the formula:

    Resistance = (Length of cable run / 1,000) * Resistance per 1,000 feet

    Plugging in the values, we get:

    Resistance = (100 / 1,000) * 0.778
    Resistance = 0.1 * 0.778
    Resistance = 0.0778 ohms

    Therefore, the total resistance for the 100 feet cable run is 0.0778 ohms, which is equivalent to 0.00778 ohms.
