There are many variables which contribute to a muscle's ability to produce force.
Architecture:
The Orientation of muscle fibers influence force production capabilities per square unit. For example, the diagonal orientation of the gastrocnemius (calve muscle) gives it greater ability to contract versus the linear orientation in the biceps brachii.
The way in which a muscle crosses one or more joints can give it a mechanical advantage relative to other muscles. The muscular system is essentially a lever system. Compare the moment arms between two muscles and you can see which one has the advantage
Physiology
Muscles are comprised of several motor units, some have the ability to contract faster and with more force than others. This is influenced by training and genetics. Muscles with more "Fast twitch" muscle can produce more force than "slow twitch" muscles. Think Olympic weightlifters versus endurance athletes.
A larger muscle generally has more contractile elements than a smaller one. This is also due to genetics and training. "Myofibrillar Hypertrophy" seen in barbell sports makes a stronger muscle than "Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy" seen in bodybuilding. The former increases the actin and myosin within the muscle, the former increases the amount of water in the sarcoplasm.
It's somewhat erroneous to think of muscles as individual units. This is great for learning basics of anatomy, but in practice, muscles always work in concert with each other, interdigitate with each other and only really become separate under the scalpel.

Is it normal for one arm to be bigger than the other?
Yes, it is common for one arm to be slightly bigger or stronger than the other due to differences in muscle usage and genetics.

What benefit is there to muscle recovery?
When one works out they are stretching and, in a sense, tearing their muscles. Muscle recovery is when the torn muscles then heal and become stronger and more defined. Without muscle recovery, one is not giving their body time to regenerate and become stronger.
Is American pitt bull terrier stronger than bull terrier?
you cannot say which one is stronger...it depends on how much muscle each one of them have
how does one muscle in a pair behave when the other muscle contract?
When one muscle in a pair contracts the other expands.
If you have muscle on one hand and a little on other is t going to affect your height?
It will not effect the height although it may make it harder to buid on that muscle so i would lift one handed weights to get that arm stronger before you go on to benchpressing ect.
When one muscle contracts what happens to the opposing muscle?
When one muscle in a pair contracts the other expands.
How can one get stronger without working out?
One can get stronger without working out by focusing on activities that build muscle strength, such as yoga, Pilates, or bodyweight exercises. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in protein and nutrients can help support muscle growth and strength.
What is stronger a skeleton or muscle?
At one extreme, a weak muscle wouldn't be able to move a big, strong bone. At the opposite end of the spectrum, if a muscle were much stronger than a bone, it would snap it. The human body naturally maintains the right balance. As your muscles grow stronger from exercise, they pull harder on bones.
Is it common for people to have one dominant arm that is noticeably bigger and stronger than the other arm?
Yes, it is common for people to have one dominant arm that is noticeably bigger and stronger than the other arm. This is often due to the frequent use of the dominant arm for daily activities and tasks, leading to increased muscle development in that arm.
What will the other muscle do while the thumb is pulled toward the finger?
When one muscle contracts, the other one expands.
When one muscle contracts what dose the other muscle do?
