A copper wire of radius 0.5 mm is insulated with a sheathing of thickness 1 mm having a thermo- conductivity of 05 W/m.K. The outside surface convective heat transfer coefficient is 10 W/m.K. If the thickness of insulation sheathing is raised by 10 mm, then the electrical current carrying capacity of the wire will:
A)Increase
B)Decrease
C)Remain the same
D)Vary depending upon the electric conductivity of the wire.
