It is a technique typically engaged in electrical power and electronic devices, wherein the devices are run at less than their rated maximum power degeneracy, taking into account the case or body temperature, the ambient temperature and the type of cooling mechanism used.

In order to answer the question, you need to know the area of a circle.<span>
Area = pi * r^2
Area = 3.14 * (100/2) ^ 2
Area = 3.14 * 50^2
Area = 7850 mils^2 = 0.00785 in^2</span>

V / 15 A = 0.213 Ohm <span>
0.213 Ohm / 125 ft * 1000 ft = 1.71 Ohm / 1000 ft
Closest gauge is #12 AWG (solid wire)
#12 is 1.588 Ohm / ft, which is a 2.9775 V drop @ 15A</span>

Stranded conductors are not acceptable in the pressure terminals of a duplex receptacle. Aluminum conductors of suitable gauge for a 15 ampere duplex outlet will not fit in the pressure terminal holes.

A 3/0 AWG THHN insulated Copper is rated at 225 amps and it falls under the 90 degree C table.
<span>9. </span>D.
A #12 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps. A #12 aluminum conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. These conductors ratings only applies to three conductors in a rated at 15 amps. These conductors’ ratings only applies to three conductors in a raceway. From 7 to 24 conductors in a raceway, both aluminum and copper conductor's ratings have to be reduced by .70, so 15 amps x .7 = 10.5 amps and 20 amps x .7 = 14 amps respectively.
