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.
The term magnetic wire indicates a wire that has what for insulation?
Magnetic wire has a coating of varnish for an insulation.
Electrical wire with clear insulation which wire is hot?
By "clear insulation," I assume you mean the type of wire used in some lamp cords. If so, the hot wire is the one with the smooth (non-ribbed) insulation.
Can you use 10ga wire for 220 volts?
There is a big misconception that there are two types of wire for different voltages. It is the insulation factor that governs amount of voltage that can be applied to a conductor. Most conductors have three standard voltage insulations, 300V,600V and 1000V. These are the maximum amount of voltages applied to each insulation. The type of insulation and size of a conductor governs the amount of amperage that can be legally applied to the conductor. To answer your question "yes" you can use 120V and 240V on 300V insulation. The "gauge" of the wire is the wire size measured in AWG. )American Wire Gauge. The code book lays out the amount of amps that are allowed on each size.
What is the color of insulation over an earth wire?
The insulation will be green in colour. Also bare copper can be used as a ground wire.
How do you you measure the thickness of a thin wire?
To measure the thickness of a thin piece of wire we have got the instrument called the wire gauge. The thickness of a thin piece of wire is measured in mm.

Magnetic wire has a coating of varnish for an insulation.
What is coaxial cable 3C2V?
here are the specification about that cable No. of copper wire Bare annealed copper Dia. of copper wire Nom : 0.50mm Type of insulation Natural color solid Polyethylene Insulation thickness Std : 1.30mm Diameter over insulation Nom : 3.1mm Diameter over outer conductor (wire braids) Nom : 0.14mm Min : 0.132mm No of layer wire braids 0.12mm x 7 x 16 copper Type of sheath PVC Black Sheath thickness Nom : 0.80mm Overall diameter of cable Max : 6.50mm Nom : 6.20mm Min : 6.00mm
What is the action of removing the insulation from wire?
The action of removing insulation for a wire is called stripping.

Does copper wire insulate?
The insulation on a wire is applied after the wire is drawn to size.
What is the outside of a wire called?
Insulation?
Which plastic is used for making wire insulation?
Electrical insulation on a wire or cable composed of plastic. Most wires and cables use plastic insulation. Some other types of insulation used on wires and cables are: enamel, cloth, natural rubber, gutta percha, ceramic, etc.
What is the purpose of insulation on the electric wire?
So that the living organisms and other wires/metals are not affected by the current in a given wire. In the absence of insulation two wires coming in contact may cause short circuit and also there is a risk of death of the living organisms coming in contact. There is one more reason that insulation minimizes charge leakage from the wire.
