How much voltage can a 20 gauge wire carry?
The voltage does not depend on the gauge of the wire, but on the thickness and type of insulation.
How does the thickness of the wire affect a generators strength?
A thicker wire reduces electrical resistance (as does a shorter wire), so more energy will be transported if a thick wire connects a generator to its destination.
Does the length of the wire affect the brightness of the bulb?
Wire has a certain amount of resistance. As electricity flows down the wire, some of the voltage is lost in the wire before reaching the lamp. So, the longer the wire, the less voltage the lamp gets, and the dimmer it will be.
Which wire carries the voltage?
Electrical wire.
How many amps can you run with 350 ft of wire?
Depends on voltage, how much current you will be drawing (starting, under a load, & just at normal usage, and length of the wire, if its solid or twisted, will it be strictly DC, otherwiseif AC, what frequency, .... that'll get us started. )

What can affect the resistance of a wire?
The thickness
How does the thickness of the wire affect resistance?
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
How does the thickness of wire affect the resistance?
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
How many inches of 20 gauge wire can safely carry 110VAC?
The gauge (thickness) of the wire along with the material (copper, aluminum, etc) and the length are factors affecting the current capacity, not voltage. The insulator properties, or distance from other conductors will affect the Voltage capability.
How the length and thickness of wires could affect the brightness of light bulbs?
Voltage loss. On a long run you will loose some voltage so it is sometimes necessary to increase the wire size to compensate for the voltage loss. This loss of voltage will cause a light to be dim as it is not receiving the correct voltage that is was designed to use.
What are factors that affect resistance of electricity?
Temperature, thickness, length and type of wire.
Does thickness of wire affect resistance?
yes.it affect.because thick wire cannot hold high resistance of current
How does the thickness of the wire affect a generators strength?
A thicker wire reduces electrical resistance (as does a shorter wire), so more energy will be transported if a thick wire connects a generator to its destination.
How does wire thickness affects resistance?
Increasing wire thickness decreases its resistance, while increasing its length increases its resistance. Provided the voltage between the ends of the wire is constant, the current through it is inversely proportional to its resistance.
Does the length of the wire affect the brightness of the bulb?
Wire has a certain amount of resistance. As electricity flows down the wire, some of the voltage is lost in the wire before reaching the lamp. So, the longer the wire, the less voltage the lamp gets, and the dimmer it will be.
What would affect the brightness of a lamp?
Voltage applied (voltage at source, resistance of wire and conections etc), ground resistance, designed brightness of element in comparison to the applied voltage
