This is a voltage drop question. A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 100 amps for 200 feet on a 240 volt system. Or

a 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 100 amps for 200 feet on a 120 volt system. In your question you sis not stipulate what the working voltage is.

What is the correct pipe size for a service entrance to a house?

The correct pipe size for a service entrance to a house typically depends on the electrical load and local building codes. For residential service, a common size is 1 inch for a 100-amp service and 1.25 inches for a 200-amp service. It's essential to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations to ensure compliance and proper sizing based on the specific requirements of the installation. Always consider factors like distance from the service panel and the type of conductors used.

What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?

Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.
