Both 12-2 and 14-2 wire have 2 wires in a single cord. Neither contains a ground wire. Size 12 wire is a larger wire than size 14 wire. Size 12 wire can carry more amperage without getting hot and burning up. They would not be used for house wiring or machinery since they do not have a ground wire.

What is the difference between 12 2 and 14 2 wire?
14 gauge wire is smaller and is only good for 15amps of load. 12 gauge wire is a little bigger and is good for 20 amps of load, that is best case. there are many other factors that apply such as length of wire run, how long the power is applied, how many conductors are parrellel to each other etc.

What is the difference between 12-2 and 14-2 wiring?
The '12' and '14' refers to the gauge of the wire. A 14 gauge wire is used for circuits drawing 15 amps or less; general lighting and outlets. A 12 gauge wire is used for 20 amp circuits, like dishwashers, disposals, and microwaves. The '-2' refers to the number of conductors in the wire. 14-2 is a 14 gauge wire with 2 conductors in the sheath. A 14-3 with ground would have three conductors plus a ground in the sheath, for a total of four wires, and is most often used for ceiling fan wiring and three way switches.

Yes. Carbon 14 is more reactive then carbon 12.
Between -2 degrees Celsius and 12 degrees Celsius?
That's a 14 degree difference.
What would occur if you switch from 14 wire to a 12 wire?
12 wire is bigger than 14 so nothing would happen, the bigger the wire the more current it can handle and the better it is.

Can you 14 gauge wire from the panel box to 12 gauge wire to the light?
no
Can you go from a 14 gauge to 12 gauge wire?
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.
Can you connect 12-2 wire to 14-2 wire together?
You cannot connect 12-2 wire and 14-2 wire together. This can be dangerous, and it will cause issues with the circuit.
