In normal residential use it is 20 Amps.
That depends on alot of things such as the wire insulation, ambient temperature, etc. Standard NM 12/2 (Romex or equivalent, which is likely what you are asking as it is the primary type used to wire residential) is rated for 20 amps, 14 gauge is 15 amps, 10 gauge is 30 amps.
What else can I help you with?
How do you size circuit breakers?
If you are using 14AWG wire in your circuit, you will fuse with a 15 amp breaker as 14AWG maximum amperage is 15 amps to 100 ft of wire. If the wire run is longer than 100ft, then you would fuse for 10 amps max. If you are using 12AWG then it can carry 20 amps, etc. Longer than 100ft you would fuse for 15amps. note: 14AWG is called 14/2 and 12Awg is called 12/2 commonly.

What is the amp rating for 14 gauge wire?
The amp rating for 14 gauge wire is typically around 15 to 20 amps.
What is the amp rating of NM wire?
The ampacity or amp rating of all wire is rated by the size of the wire. NM (non-metallic sheathing) wire is no different. In household wiring 14 gauge wire must go on a 15 amp breaker/ 12 gauge goes on a 20 A and 10 gauge goes on a 30 Amp.
What is the amp rating for a 14 2 wire?
The amp rating for a 14 2 wire is typically around 15 amps.
What is the amp rating for 14 gauge wire 100 ft .?
Under normal household conditions it is 15 amps.
What gauge wire should be used for a 15 amp circuit?
For a 15 amp circuit, a 14-gauge wire should be used.
Can you connect 14 gauge wire to 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker if the 14 gauge is the end of the run and dedicated to lights?
yesAnother (corrected) answer.NO! The circuit breaker is there to protect the wiring from overheating. It wouldn't matter where on the circuit you decided to put the 14 gauge wire, you would need to change the breaker to 15 Amp if you did that. Using 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit is a fire hazard and contrary to UBC. Contact your local building and zoning department to verify.
What wire should be used for outlets?
For outlets, it is recommended to use 12-gauge wire for 20-amp circuits and 14-gauge wire for 15-amp circuits.
What is the amp rating for a 3 wire?
The amperage rating of any wire or conductor is determined by its size or gauge. It has nothing to do with whether it is a two, three or four conductor wire. For example, in basic residential wiring, a 14 gauge wire is rated at 15 amps, a 12 gauge wire is rated at 20 amps, a # 10 is rated for 30A and so forth.
What is the appropriate gauge size for a 10 amp wire in a residential electrical circuit?
The appropriate gauge size for a 10 amp wire in a residential electrical circuit is typically 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
What gauge wire is required for 15 amp service?
14-2
What gauge for wire can you use with a 15 amp circuit?
