Overview
Copper wire weight depends on its cross-sectional area and length. Standard American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes have fixed diameters used for these calculations.

Pro Tips
Ensure the length is in meters for accurate results.
The density of copper used is 8,960 kg/m³.
Higher AWG numbers represent thinner wires.
