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.
34 gauge copper wire will work but to use the 35 gauge copper wire is the best choice
#6 wire is good for 65 Amps as long as it is type THHN.
Copper wire gauge sizes are not equivalent to aluminum wire gauge sizes. The gauge sizes for copper and aluminum wires are different due to their differing electrical conductivity properties. It is not possible to directly convert a copper wire size to an equivalent aluminum wire size.
The recommended gauge of wire for a 50 amp circuit is typically 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper wire.
The recommended gauge for copper wire to handle a 100 amp load is typically 3 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
Weight of copper wire is measured by the American Wire Gauge. Determining factors are whether or not it is solid wire, insulated and the area.
In general, you should never use a breaker larger than 20 Amps on a #12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire.
The recommended thickness of 6 gauge copper wire for electrical wiring projects is about 0.162 inches.
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.
A rather thin copper or aluminum wire.

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).
