depends on the amperage. 14 AWG for 15 amps, 12 AWG for 20 amps, 8 AWG for 50 amps.
Yes, if you are using AWG # 10 wire. If you are using AWG # 12 then the answer is no you must use a 20 amp breaker. On AWG #14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker.
Since you're only going 6 meters as your distance the voltage drop will not be a significant issue and you can use #12 AWG that is rated for 20 Amps
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
Normally it is a 20 amp using AWG 12/2 gauge wire. But it really depends on what size wire is on that circuit. If it is white AWG 14 gauge then use a 15 amp breaker. If it is yellow AWG 12 gauge then use a 20 amp breaker.

5. You are probably asking about wire size. 15 amps is typically 14 AWG and 20 amps is 12 AWG.
The larger the AWG number the smaller the wire. 10 AWG wire can carry more current than 12 AWG wire.The wire sizes of 24 and 26 are the smallest that are used in the electrical.See related links below
AWG 12.
30 Amps
For a 20-amperes circuit, a wire gauge of at least 12 AWG should be used to ensure safe and efficient operation. Choosing the correct wire gauge will help prevent overheating and potential hazards in the 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.

The American Wire Gauge (AWG) system is a measurement of wire diameter, not capacity. The maximum amperage capacity of a 12 AWG wire will depend on factors such as the insulation type, ambient temperature, and installation conditions. For typical household wiring applications, a 12 AWG wire can generally handle around 20-25 amps.
