I have just bought a 19 in electric lawn mower.
Nameplate ampere rating on it is 12 Amps and I am trying to decide on the
extension cord. 75 ft of cord length will be enough to take me to the
farthest point in the lawn, and I understand I am better off buying 12
gauge cord for this purpose. You get either 25 ft or 50 ft or 100 ft cords
in the market that are 12 guage.

The question is should I connect a 50 ft and 25 ft, or am I just better
off using a single 100 ft cord for this purpose. How much am I reducing
the voltage going to the lawn mower when I use a 100 ft instead of 75 ft.
