Got a stupid assigment that is giving me trouble, got to fing the ampacity of a copper penny throught the flat sides.

Cna not find a whole lot it is not a standard wire size, but if ne one has a way to calculate the ampacity of a single copper conductor that is hard drawn not annealed and in free air let me know.

The diameter of a penny is 0.75" and 750CMIL or 1.9cm

 

is it like an actual canadian penny? is it solid copper, or copper plated steel like the new ones? [img]smile.gif[/img]
