1-4 Missouri Valley Practice Test

Is the statement 'A 336 kcmil conductor is larger than a 795 kcmil conductor' true or false?

True False Not enough information They are equal

Correct Answer:

False

Explanation:

In conductors, the kcmil value represents cross-sectional area: higher numbers mean a larger conductor. A 795 kcmil conductor has a bigger cross-sectional area than a 336 kcmil conductor, so the statement claiming 336 kcmil is larger is false. The difference is substantial—795 is about 2.37 times larger than 336 (795/336 ≈ 2.37)—which confirms that the 336 kcmil conductor is smaller, not larger. The other options don’t fit because they contradict this straightforward relationship between the numeric kcmil value and physical size.
