You are required to run 2,000 feet of AWG20 solid copper wire for a new piece of equipment. The remperature at location is 25C (77F). Use formula R=pL/A to determine how much resistance the wire will offer to current flow?

I am unsure that I did this correct. I used p=10.09 ohm-cmil/ft, found the area of the AWG cable to have area of 5.583x10^-5 ft^2. This game me an answer that seemed way to high (361454415,2 ohms)

 

You might have misfigured the circular area. Try this chart - http://lugsdirect.com/AWG wire sizes.htm.

 

Thanks for the help. It is greatly appreciated.
