Cross Sectional Area Of A Wire

This calculator determines the wire s cross sectional area based on the number of strands and individual strand diameter.

Cross sectional area of a wire. The cross sectional area of a wire is the size of the face of the wire if it was cut vertically perpendicular to it s length. A d 2 π 4 0 7854 d 2. Please enter the number of strands.

A cross section area mm 2 in 2 d diameter mm in cross section area of bunched wire. A n d 2 π 4 0 7854 n d 2. Number of strands strand diameter mm or.

N number of wires. Most wire is made with a circular cross section of some particular radius and diameter. The area of that cross section is the well known a pi r which is colloquially pronounced as pie are squared.

Cross section area of single wire. The cross sectional area is independent of wire length and is typically uniform across the entire length.
