A cable has a resistance of 17 milliohms per metre and a total resistance of 3.23 ohms. Calculate its length.

Ok ummm i havent come across this yet let me just think iv only looked at cpc and line and things ok hang on

 

[Silly Sausage]

ok...just conducted a quick analysis of this thread....and theres definately 2 camps developing here...

Well I'm definitely not in Mark & Onions camp.

 

[trev]

It doesn't matter what the cable is, it's just a calculation

 

[Plonker 3]

Just for clarity Trev, is that a single core cable?

 

[markc123]

Well I'm definitely not in Mark & Onions camp.

You wouldn't be allowed in thats why!

Right, lets stop this here lol Don't tempt me, Sintra could possible have heart troubles if he seems be posting at the same time as the devil that is onions.

 

[GLENNSPARK]

Well I'm definitely not in Mark & Onions camp.

cheese & onions then?

 

[markc123]

cheese & onions then?

nah...

steak and onion

[shanky887614]

[tidyboiler]

Well I'm definitely not in Mark & Onions camp.

Is that a new flavour for the Walkers crisps promotion?

 

[trev]

Just for clarity Trev, is that a single core cable?

Yes, sorry. It's a single core.

 

[Silly Sausage]

nah...

Chipolata and onion

.......

 

[Sarz11]

Dont b mean there really nice guys if you dont like me fine but there smart and ok

 

[Sarz11]

It doesn't matter what the cable is, it's just a calculation

Its a hard/prob simple to u lot calculation when you dont have a clue what your doing. TREV :0) im thinking.....

 

[Plonker 3]

Right, Sarz what figures do have and what figures do you need?

A bit like this A-B=C

 

[shanky887614]

A cable has a resistance of 17 milliohms per metre and a total resistance of 3.23 ohms. Calculate its length.

Sarz whats the difference between an ohm and milliohm

A 2.5amp battery is the same as

2500milliamps

Should be easy now

 

[markc123]

Dont b mean there really nice guys if you dont like me fine but there smart and fit and hot and omg i so would

That's how you auto-correct Archy.

Although, i must say your chipolata comment was rather flatering lol.

Fit as in more chins than china town?

 

[DPG]

Shanky's given enough info now I reckon - what's your answer?

 

[Silly Sausage]

All I can say is, my lass left Yorkshire to meet a real man in Manchester!

 

[markc123]

Ok thank you all for your lil help n tips. 190m I divided 3.23 by 0.017 to get it in the right measure ummmmm iv pmd trev too hehe iv just got to get my head rnd it n if had practical experience n was shown sure itd b easier sigh

 

[Sarz11]

U lot are makin me sweat stop it haha

 

[shanky887614]

U lot are makin me sweat stop it haha

If I got a ze reading of 4.2ohm

And an R1+R2 of 1.5ohm

What would the zs be?

You certain?

 

[Sarz11]

Milliohms to ohms and ohms to milliohms arghhhhhhhh

 

[onions1066]

Single core cable trev?

 

[trev]

Yes single core

 

[Sarz11]

Stop shouting jargon at me say it clearly my head hurts

 

[Sarz11]

You certain?

Ummmm i think so?

 

[trev]

Note to self, don't do calculations while on the phone. You tend to make mistakes and give people duff info

 

[Sintra]

If your going to ask questions at least use the correct terminology.

Impossible to accurately determine from information given

 

[trev]

No, simple.

 

[shanky887614]

No need to be a grammer ----, all the decent gold card sparkies know exactly what im asking.

 

[markc123]

Pretty sure at college these days you have to get it this way....

Im sure i read it on here somewhere, that because accurate Zs is a live test you have to guess it at college as its a unnecssary live test... god, do you not know health and safety these days lol.

 

[trev]

Check the calculation yourself Sarah, 0.017 X 190 = ?

 

[Sarz11]

No need to be a grammer ----, all the decent sparkies know exactly what im asking.

Oi!! I dont but dont mean i WONT b a decent sparky

 

[GLENNSPARK]

No, simple.

i think he`s getting at the r1 r2 thing...

when it should be (R1 R2)

 

[Sarz11]

Check the calculation yourself Sarah, 0.017 X 190 = ?

Yes i am sorry i was a bit confused n didnt do the last bit obviously :0)

 

[shanky887614]

Oi!! I dont but dont mean i WONT b a decent sparky

Decent as in gold card sparky

 

[Plonker 3]

Maybe we know the correct terminology and could ask you, but a trainee needs to learn properly and not just from incorrect information. Theres a lot of difference between 100M ohms and 100m ohms for example.

 

[Hawkmoon]

No, simple.

Then I must be simple...please explain trev

 

[Plonker 3]

All forgotten

 

[markc123]

Just re-reading some of this thread through ...

I wonder how a forum night out would end haha.

 

[onions1066]

3.23 .what was the question

 

[shanky887614]

Yeah I should have been more careful.

Ive edited it now

With a famous super hero move

 

[trev]

Then I must be simple...please explain trev

Ze + (R1+R2)= Zs (But you don't need me to tell you that)
However, I didn't see that the correct terminology hadn't been used. My bad but I'm sure that calculation was what was intended
