The document describes how to calculate the resistance of copper and aluminum cables based on their length, cross-sectional area, and material properties. It provides an example of calculating the resistance of a 500m copper cable with a cross-sectional area of 10mm^2, which is 1.125 ohms. The resistance of an aluminum cable of the same length and area is also calculated as 1.8 ohms.

A copper conductor of length 500 meters is used to supply electrical energy to a lighting load of 1,000W. If the cross sectional area of the conductor is 10mmsq, calculate the resistance of the conductor. If the copper conductor were replaced with an Aluminium conductor of the same length, calculate the resistance of the Aluminium conductor. Solution: The resistance per km for copper is given by:
R = 22.5/S(c.s.a)
Here S = 10mmsq
Hence R = 22.5/10 = 2.25 Ohms per km
Length of conductor = 500m =500/1000 = 0.5km
Therefore resistance of copper conductor = 2.25 x 0.5 =1.125 Ohms
Similarly for Aluminium,
The resistance per km for Aluminium is given by:
R = 36/S(c.s.a)
Again S = 10mmsq
Hence R = 36/10 = 3.6 Ohms per km
Length of conductor = 0.5km
Therefore resistance of copper conductor = 3.6 x 0.5 = 1.8 Ohms
