What would be the effect of placing a copper rod into an electric circuit?

If the copper rod is connected into the electric circuit in place of a piece of wire, it would have no effect at all on DC or low-frequency circuits. But the box used to hold the circuit would probably need to be bigger, because copper rods normally come in 6-foot lengths.


Can work wire for 100 amps use for 60 amps circuit?

If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
