A wire does not produce amps. A wire with a larger cross sectional area allows more amperage to pass through it with less voltage drop due to a lower resistance.

Allowable ampacities for not more that 3 copper conductors in a cable based on an ambient temperature of 30 degrees C. A #1 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 130 and 140 amps respectively.
This answer is if you are referring to the sizing of electrical conductors in North America using the AWG for sizing. An American Wire Gauge sizing of 600 refers to the cross sectional area of the conductor.This amperage value is for a single copper conductor.A 600 MCM copper conductor with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated for 690 and 780 amps respectively.This amperage value is for not more than three copper conductors in a conduit or raceway.A 600 MCM copper conductor with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated for 420 and 475 amps respectively.This amperage value is for a single aluminium conductor.A 600 MCM aluminium conductor with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated for 545 and 615 amps respectively.This amperage value is for not more than three aluminium conductors in a conduit or raceway.A 600 MCM copper conductor with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated for 340 and 385 amps respectively.
The Mesopotamians combined copper and tin to make bronze. This mixture of metals produced a stronger and more durable material than either copper or tin alone.
That wire is only good for low voltage wiring such as a doorbell or a thermostat any more would cause a fire.
Ozone production is very important. It is because the more ozone is produced the thicker will be the ozone layer.
