Solution Steps
24 AWG to mm:
Formula: d(mm) = 0.127 × 92^((36 − AWG) / 39)
= 0.127 × 92^((36 − 24) / 39)
= 0.511 mm
Cross-sectional area:
A = π × (d/2)²
= π × (0.511/2)²
= 0.205 mm²
24 AWG to mm:
Formula: d(mm) = 0.127 × 92^((36 − AWG) / 39)
= 0.127 × 92^((36 − 24) / 39)
= 0.511 mm
Cross-sectional area:
A = π × (d/2)²
= π × (0.511/2)²
= 0.205 mm²
