It is dependant on the voltage being used, size of wire, distance of the run from the distribution and load connected at the other end.

What will the voltage drop on a 1.5 mm cable run 1.5 kilometres be?
This is a voltage drop question. The amperage of the circuit must be given. Without the load amperage this question can not be answered.
How to compute the size of wire with respect to the distance from circuit breaker to the load side?
Normally wire is sized by the amperage of the load. In this case the wire size is calculated by knowing the length of the run to the load and the amperage of the device to be connected. By knowing the length, the wire size has to be increased to allow for voltage drop over the distance from the supply to the load.
Would using a 200 foot extension cord which is 6 gauge 3 wire cord on a 220 single phase welder present any problems?
Absolutely, you will have voltage drop, maybe enough voltage drop that the welder will not work <<>> To do a voltage drop calculation for the 200 foot cable the input amperage of the welder needs to be stated. At a maximum distance of 201 feet and limiting the voltage drop to 3% or less, a #6 copper conductor can deliver 37 amps on a 220 volt system. Check the nameplate on the welder to see if it falls withing the range of 37 amps input amperage. Do not use the welders output amperage.
What gauge wire should you use for wiring a dock - in conduit - 350 ft at 220 volts?
That depends on the load. In other words how many amps does your load utilize or how many watts? Either figure will work. <<>> Wire size is based on amperage. The higher the load amperage the larger the wire size has to be. In this case also, the wire has to be increased in size to over come the voltage drop for the distance to the load. To receive an answer restate the question with the load amperage or wattage.
What 2 Factors Determine How Much Amperage Will Flow?
Voltage and resistance determine amperage, assuming the source can provide the amperes.
How much amperage can a 60-VA transformer put out?
Enough to make your mother’s panties drop on the floor.

What would cause high voltage drop readings?
High resistance on the feeder to the load will cause voltage drop at the load end of the circuit. If this is happening, do the calculations for voltage drop, using the amperage of the load, voltage of the load, the size of the wire feeding the load and the distance from the distribution panel to the load.

How much amperage for a 20 hotpoint stove?
How much amperage for a hotpoint 20 inch stove
When voltage increase then current will be?
it depends on what type of load. Motor amperage will drop off as voltage rises. loads such as lights will increase amperage with voltage rise.
What the max distance for a seow power supply cord for a portable machine?
There are three factors that come into play here. One is what is the amperage of the load. The other is the distance or length you want to be from the portable machine and the size of the wire in the cord. Without these values I can not calculate the voltage drop.
What is the distance you can run 10-2 wire?
Depends on what it is powering. The longer the run the more voltage drop you get. For example if you run 200 feet of copper 10 wire you'll lose about 4 volts. There are voltage calculators you can use. The less volts you have the more amps the wire will have. Watts/volts=amps. 10 wire is rated for 30 amps. Do the calculation. You should not go past 80% of 30 amps (24 amps).

How much is the bullet drop of a 338 Lapua Magnum?
Depends on muzzle velocity, projectile weight and distance.
How far does a 308 bullet drop per distance?
Sorry, you need to specify WHICH .308 bullet and at what distance. As distance increases, the RATE of drop also increases.
