If anyone is familiar with why we need thicker guage wire for longer distances, could you please explain it to me? So take a chart like this:

If we need 15 amps, but are using 3, 50 feet extensions cords for a total of 150 feet, would we need 6 guage extension cords or would 12 guage meet the requirement?
Thanks for the help!
