A #12 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps.
A 12 AWG wire should not be connected to a breaker larger than 20 amps. The wire is capable of carrying that current load without overheating and causing fire.

Can you splice solid copper wire to stranded copper wire?
Yes as long as you use an approved splice, such as a wire-nut.
What is the amperage limit of number 2 gauge wire?
A #2 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 100, 115 and 120 amps respectively.
What size is the bare stranded copper ground wire that is shipped with the sdc?
#6AWG
What is the difference between stranded copper and tinseld copper wire?
bare copper is pure copper, while tinned copper is having light coating of Tin over it, preferred where soldering phenomenon is req. while the bare copper is good conductor then tinned copper.

What is the difference between a tinned wire and overcoat wire?
Overcoat: Individual strands of tin copper stranded together & then covered with a tin coating. Topcoat: Bare (untinned) copper wire, stranded, then coated with pure tin.
What size is the bare stranded copper ground wire that is shipped with the sdc?
#6AWG
How do you calculate diameter of a copper wire conductor and how do we calculate resistance of a copper wire conductor of a particaular length?
You go to the NEC and look at the chart for developed length and the ambient temperature and the load factor and if it solid or stranded wire as stranded allows for more voltage

bare copper is pure copper, while tinned copper is having light coating of Tin over it, preferred where soldering phenomenon is req. while the bare copper is good conductor then tinned copper.
What size of aluminum wire 3 stranded is used to run electric from house to dock?
Wire is sized by the amperage of the load. Without knowing what the load amperage,the voltage and whether the load is three phase or single phaseat the dock, an answer can not be given.
What is the amperage limit of 10 gauge solid wire?
Typically 30 amps.
