Battery wire

I think we're getting into some number errors here folks.
10 sq mm broken back into wire diameter would be 10 / pi or 10 / 3.14.
If I'm thinking this through right in round figures that would give us
3.18 and the square root of that would be a wire with a diameter of 1.78
mm. Way too small for a starter wire. So something is wrong with our
numbers.
Earl
Area of circle = pi x Dia squared /4
therefore Dia = SQRT(Area x 4 / pi)
So your calcs should read:
Dia = SQRT(10 x 4/pi) = 3.6
As you say "Way too small for a starter wire".
