A domestic D/W uses 14 gauge wire.
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
Use 8 gauge wire.
I would recommend you use 1/0 gauge
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
34 gauge copper wire will work but to use the 35 gauge copper wire is the best choice
It is better to use 16 gauge or 14 gauge speaker wire for your home theater applications.
use a stronger wire for longer antennas...the gauge may not be as important as the strength if you string it outside.
It'd depend on how much current the transformer would have to carry. Some would require 14 ga, some would get by with less, some would require more.
Normally AWG #10
Yes, as long as the load attached to the wire does not exceed 0.022 amps.

10-2 wire refers to 10 gauge, 2 conductor wire. Youshould use wire that is 10 gauge or larger (8 gauge, 6 gauge, 4 gauge, 2 gauge). The larger the wire, the more it will cost. most people install using the smallest size permitted, which in this case is 10 gauge. The are specifying the wire size to ensure that you do not connect the air conditioner to electric power using wire that is two small. If you are having problems with this type of question, you should consult an licensed electrician for help in connecting your air conditioner.
18 gauge
it is not recommended because the 14 gauge wire is not capable of carrying the same amount of load as the 12 gauge wire which could result in a fire.
an iron nail, a long peice of wire, a large battery or a transformer
The lower gauge number is always a thicker wire which can carry more current.
