Final answer:
The maximum length of a flexible gas appliance connector for a dryer or range is typically 6 feet, which is option (a). This is subject to local building codes and manufacturer recommendations, and not related to the provided physics problem about forces in an AC appliance cord.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question does not directly relate to the information provided. The student asked about the maximum length of a flexible gas appliance connector for a dryer or range, which is generally a home installation question, and not related to the physics problem about the force between wires in an AC appliance cord.
To answer the student's original question, the maximum length of a flexible gas appliance connector for a dryer or range is often subject to local building codes and manufacturer recommendations. However, typically, the standard maximum length for a flexible gas appliance connector is 6 feet (option a).
In contrast, the physics problem about an AC appliance cord deals with the forces between electrical conductors carrying a current. These forces can be calculated using the Ampère's force law, considering the distance between the wires and the current they carry.
