    1. A copper wire of unknown length has a resistance of 0.80 ohm. By


    successive passes through drawing dies, the length of the wire is increased
    to 2 ½ times its original value. Assuming that resistivity remains unchanged
    during the drawing process, determine the new value of its resistance.
    2. The substation bus bar is made up of 2-inches round copper bars 20 ft.
    long. What is the resistance of each bar if resistivity is 1.724 micro-ohm-cm
    as the resistivity.
    3. A one-meter rod of 2-cm diameter is drawn until its resistance is 100 times
    the initial resistance. Its length afterward is?
    4. A 500 MCM ACSR cable has 37 strands. Determine the diameter in mils of
    each strand.
    5. A copper transmission line is to be replaced by one of aluminum having the
    same total resistance. If the cross-sectional area of the copper wire is 500
    MCM, what would be the cross-sectional area of the new aluminum wire?
    6. The insulation resistance of a kilometer of the cable having a diameter of 2-
    cm and an insulation thickness if 2-cm is 600 ohms. If the thickness of the
    insulation is increased to 3-cm, find the insulation resistance of the cable.
    7. Two heating elements which 500 ohms and 250 ohms are connected in
    series with temperature coefficient of 0.001 and 0.003 ohms per °C,
    respectively. It is desired to make a coil of wire having a resistance of 1200
    ohm with a temperature coefficient of 0.001, using suitable lengths of the
    two given wires connected in series. Determine the required length of wire
    A?
    8. A cylindrical rubber insulated cable has a diameter if 0.18 inch and
    insulation thickness of 0.25 inch. If the specific resistance of rubber is 10^14
    ohm-cm, determine the insulation resistance per 1000-ft length of the
    cable.
    9. The resistance of a wire is 126.48 ohms at 100°C and 100 ohms at 30°C.
    Determine the temperature coefficient of copper at 0°C.
    10.What is the size in square millimeter is the cable of 250 MCM size?
