What size wire for electric cook top?
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
Which is larger in diameter12 AWG or 15 AWG wire?
12 AWG wire is larger in diameter than 15 AWG wire. Wire gauge sizes decrease as the number increases, so a lower gauge number represents a larger wire diameter.
Why is 6 AWG preferred over 8 AWG for 50 amp breaker?
6 AWG wire is preferred over 8 AWG for a 50 amp breaker because it has a larger diameter, which allows it to handle more current without overheating. This helps ensure the wire can safely carry the load without tripping the breaker or causing damage.
Can you use 4 AWG wire with a 6 AWG ground wire to a sub box 100 feet away?
Yes you can. You did not say how many amps were required.
Which wire is smallest in 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

What is the Max amp on 10MM cable?
Canada and US - 10 mm is larger that #8 AWG and smaller that #6 AWG. To err on the safe side I will use the #6 AWG equivalent of 60 amps, RW90 insulation, copper wire.
What is larger 0 AWG or 4 AWG?
the lower the number, the larger the wire. 0 AWG is larger than 4 AWG More information: The above answer is correct but I wish to add more information. What you are calling 0 AWG is usually written as 1/0 and called "one ought". From there the numbers get larger: 1/0, 2/0 (read "2 ought"), 3/0, and 4/0. From there wires are written in there MCM size or kcmils (kilo-circular-mills) which stands for thousand circular mills, the same as MCM. That's a lot of useless information unless you are a competent electrician. I just wanted to clarify that 0 AWG is commonly called 1/0, or "one ought."

What gauge wire is needed for 200 feet with 110 volts and 50 amps?
6 AWG will handle 50 amps with a voltage drop of about 4 volts. If you go to 4 AWG and limit to 50 amps your voltage drop will be 2.5 volts.
What is the largest size solid conductor permitted to be installed in a raceway?
10 AWG can be solid. 8 AWG and larger should be stranded. 2008 NEC 310.3 2011 NEC 310.106(C)
Which is a larger number than the other -6 or 4?
4 is larger.

What does AWG mean?
American Wire Guage. The smaller the number the larger the wire. As in an AWG 14/2 wire is much smaller than an AWG 10/2 wire.
