Copper wire gauge sizes are not equivalent to aluminum wire gauge sizes. The gauge sizes for copper and aluminum wires are different due to their differing electrical conductivity properties. It is not possible to directly convert a copper wire size to an equivalent aluminum wire size.
To determine the gauge of wire in your house, look for markings on the insulation or jacket of the wire. It usually indicates the gauge size, such as 14, 12, or 10. You can also use a wire gauge measuring tool to accurately determine the wire gauge.
In cooper electrical wire, gauge 8 means the wire size assigned by the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. That is why you always will hear about AWG WIRE, it's not the type of wire is the gauge that we are talking about. A gauge 8 wire will be used for connections requiring from 40-45 amps to a maximum of 73 amps. (24 for power transmission). Diameter of an 8 AWG wire is 0.12849 inches. 8 AWG is solid, not stranded.
U can get 16 SWG
It completely depends on the gauge, or diameter of the wire. Some very large wires found in industrial plants can weigh more than a pound per foot, while very fine wire found in small motors can take several hundred feet to make a pound.
34 gauge copper wire will work but to use the 35 gauge copper wire is the best choice
#6 wire is good for 65 Amps as long as it is type THHN.

A pound.
The weight of 14 gauge insulated copper wire is approximately 0.05 pounds per foot. So, depending on the length of wire you have, you can calculate the total weight by multiplying the length in feet by 0.05.
Weight of copper wire is measured by the American Wire Gauge. Determining factors are whether or not it is solid wire, insulated and the area.
Depends on the thicknes of the wire. About three pounds, according to this site: http://www.rjleahy.com/Store/wire/cwi.htm See second chart on left... 10 ga copper wire is about 33 feet per pound.
The resistance value of a 1 meter copper wire depends on its gauge (thickness) and temperature. For example, a 1 meter wire of 24-gauge copper has a resistance of about 25.67 ohms at room temperature. It is important to consider these factors when calculating the resistance of copper wire.
A rather thin copper or aluminum wire.
