1. Can someone point me to a URL that would have a spec sheet that would
include the resistivity and temperature coefficient of resistivity for the
type of copper used in PCB construction?
2. Can someone point me to a URL that explains how to make resistance
calculations of wires at different temperatures using the temperature
coefficient of resistivity. I know how to do it, but I can't find a
reference that I can point to in an article to tell others how to do it.
3. What is the original derivation of the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system.
There is obviously a logarithmic relationship between gauge and
cross-sectional area:
Wire Gauge ~ Log(1/Area)
but why is that? How were the original gauge numbers defined?
Thanks for any help
