A current passing through a wire creates a magnetic field around the wire, due to effects of special relativity (the electrons are moving FAST). Alternatively, a changing magnetic field (such as created by a moving magnet) induces electric current in a nearby wire. Faraday's Law describes this behavior.

How many watts will a 14 gauge extension cord handle?

What size extension cord should you use for your 120 volt 1725 watt iron?

#16 <<>> To load an extension cord to 1725 watts depending on the length of the cord, the bare minimum should be #14. A better size cord and my recommendation would be a #12 wire size extension cord.


Can the cord on an electric heater be lengthened?

Yes, but with a heavier gauge wire <<>> If the cord on an electric heater needs to be lengthened as a perminant feature then the whole cord should be replaced with a new cord of the same type and wire size. What this prevents is aquiring bad splice connections at the point the connection is made. Bad splice connections will create hot spots in the cable. If the lengthening of the cord is just a temporary fix, just use an extension cord. The extension cord should be the same wire size as the heater cord. Keep the extension cord under 20 feet in length.
