It's not the voltage that determine the size of the conductor,it's the current.
The rule of thumb is: 6A for every 1mm sq

What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?
The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.
Can current pass throug one thick conductor?
Wire is sized to carry current, it doesn't matter whether the voltage is AC or DC. The larger the diameter of the wire the more current it is allowed to carry.
How do you calculate diameter of a copper wire conductor and how do we calculate resistance of a copper wire conductor of a particaular length?
You go to the NEC and look at the chart for developed length and the ambient temperature and the load factor and if it solid or stranded wire as stranded allows for more voltage
When a conductor is moved in a magnetic field a voltage will be induced on the conductor however current won't flow through the conductor unless the conductor is what?
moving
What is the process called in which a conductor cuts across a magnetic field and produces a voltage?
We call it induction when we pass a conductor through a magnetic field to produce voltage.
What three things effect the value of the applyed voltage in a conductor?
Lenght, diameter and material of the conductor.
Why twin moose conductor used in EHV Lines?
The twin moose type of conductor has by far the greatest diameter of any conductor. This allows it to carry more voltage than other types without melting or shorting. Therefore, it is the approved type of conductor for extra high voltage lines.
What will the current-carrying capacity be if a conductor has a diameter of one half inch but there is a nick in one section so that the diameter of that section is one fourth inch?
The resistance of such a conductor will be less than without such a nick. In other words, for the same voltage, you would get less current.
What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?
The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.
What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a battery?
The battery is the voltage or power source, the wires form the conductor.
What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a battery circuit?
The battery is the voltage or power source, the wires form the conductor.
How is voltage induced in a conductor?
According to Faraday's law, a voltage is induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field.
Can current pass throug one thick conductor?
Wire is sized to carry current, it doesn't matter whether the voltage is AC or DC. The larger the diameter of the wire the more current it is allowed to carry.
What is the relationship between voltage and MA?
The "current" through any conductor is voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance .The current is measured in "Amperes" (amps)."MA" stands for "Milliamps". There are 1,000 of those in one whole ampere.So, the current through a conductor is1,000 times the voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance . . . in MA
Will an increase of applied voltage decrease the resistance of a copper conductor?
No, the resistance is fixed by the cross section and length of the conductor and does not vary with voltage.
How do you calculate diameter of a copper wire conductor and how do we calculate resistance of a copper wire conductor of a particaular length?
You go to the NEC and look at the chart for developed length and the ambient temperature and the load factor and if it solid or stranded wire as stranded allows for more voltage
The magnitude of the voltage induced in a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field depends on the what?
The magnitude of the voltage induced in a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field depends on the length and the speed of the conductor.
