Look on the box or bag that the wire nuts came in, there you will find all of the combinations of wire sizes that can be connected together under one nut.

What is 12 awg?
Size 12 in the American Wire Guage (AWG). It's a wire of about 1/10 inch diameter.
What size breaker is used with 12 wire?
Under most circumstances such a wire in a home it is 20.
What size ground wire is needed for 20 amp?
A #14 wire will do fine for grounding a 20 amp device. That is the size of the ground wire in a 2 conductor # 12 wire building cable.
How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
What is the smallest copper wire size permitted by the national electric code for a 20 amp single phase electrical circuit?
I think you mean either what is the correct size or minimum wire size needed when a branch circuit is protected by a 20 A breaker. The size is 12 American Wire gauge (AWG). 14 AWG is used for 15 A circuit and 10 AWG for a 30 A breaker. The lower the gauge the larger the cross-section of the wire.
Can you leave the red wire on a 12 gauge wire not wired to anything?
Sure. Just cap it off with a wire nut.
What size wire should you use when adding an outdoor electric socket size 12-2 or size 12-3?
Wire sizing is based on the amperage of the connected load. The wire size number 12 is rated at 20 amps.
What is the difference between 12 -2 and 14 -2 wire?
Both 12-2 and 14-2 wire have 2 wires in a single cord. Neither contains a ground wire. Size 12 wire is a larger wire than size 14 wire. Size 12 wire can carry more amperage without getting hot and burning up. They would not be used for house wiring or machinery since they do not have a ground wire.
What gauge wire do you need for 12 volts at 4.2 amps in my car for a light H11 Light bulb?
Almost any size wire will handle the 4.2 amps. BUT...as with any wiring, you must look at the over current device to determine the proper size. You need to determine which fuse in the fuse panel protects that circuit and use a wire that is appropriate for that size fuse.
What is the size of electrical wire for 12?
24 meters
What size wire would you use to wire a motor that draws 16A from a circuit?
12

What electrical wire size is the largest 120 12 14 16?
12
What is the minimum wire size used in a commercial building?
The minimum size wire that engineers spec for industrial and commercial installations is #12 and it usually is stranded not solid wire.
What size wire in a 40 amp 12 volt circuit?
Use 8 gauge wire.
What size breaker is used with 12 wire?
Under most circumstances such a wire in a home it is 20.
