If you do not add a junction box it looks like new wire all the way from the old junction box with new wire that is longer. It's a tough place to be.

How big are tornadoes normally?

Tornadoes can range in size from just a few meters wide to over a mile wide, with an average width of around 250 feet. The size of a tornado is influenced by the strength of the storm system producing it, but the majority are on the smaller end of the scale.


A meter is longer than how many feet?

A metre is slightly longer than three feet.


Which is longer three quarters of a mile or 4000 feet?

4000 feet is longer because 3/4 of a mile is 3960 feet


Which is longer 170 yards or 500 feet?

There are 3 feet in a yard, so there are 170*3, or 510 feet in 170 yards. This means that 170 yards is 10 feet longer than 500 feet, so 170 yards is longer.


How far can you run AWG wire with 20 amps?

Typically you don't want more than a 10% drop in voltage. If it were a 120 VAC circuit that would be a drop of 12 volts. At 20 Amps that is a resistance of .6 ohms. That is about 380 feet. Allowing for a 10% drop in voltage would allow you to run 20 amps on 12 gauge copper to 151 feet. Also, the NEC suggests, but does not require, that voltage drop be limited to 3% on branch circuits. In the field this is treated by most electricians as an absolute requirement, not a suggestion. This allows you to run a 20 amp load to only 45 feet on 12 gauge wire. Notice that voltage drop is calculated based on connected load, not the rating of the circuit. A 20 amp load would be connected to a 25 amp or 30 amp circuit, requiring larger wire and allowing for longer distance. In a home a 30 amp circuit would most likely be 240v and would require #10 gauge conductors. Using these numbers to calculate a 3% voltage drop allows you to run this circuit 145 feet. At 120v on #10 gauge wire a 20 amp load can be run just over 72 feet.
