A 6-AWG wire has a diameter of 4.621 mm and a cross-section of 13.3 mm2. However a #6 wire used in wiring may contain more than one conductor to give flexibility, but its total cross-section area must be the same.

What is the resistance value of 1 meter copper wire?

The resistance value of a 1 meter copper wire depends on its gauge (thickness) and temperature. For example, a 1 meter wire of 24-gauge copper has a resistance of about 25.67 ohms at room temperature. It is important to consider these factors when calculating the resistance of copper wire.

How do you tell what gauge wire you have in your house?

The wire sheathing itself is usually marked. e.g. 14 CU 2 or 14/2 CU will indicate 14 gauge 2-wire (+ ground) copper (CU being the symbol for copper on the periodic table). For 15amp circuits you will likely has 14 gauge wire with most of that being 14/2 (Usually white, black, and bare copper).
