Depends on what it is powering. The longer the run the more voltage drop you get. For example if you run 200 feet of copper 10 wire you'll lose about 4 volts. There are voltage calculators you can use. The less volts you have the more amps the wire will have. Watts/volts=amps. 10 wire is rated for 30 amps. Do the calculation. You should not go past 80% of 30 amps (24 amps).

To answer this question the amperage of the load must be stated along with the voltage of the circuit. Without these values, line voltage drop and hence the distance, can not be calculated.

This is a voltage drop question. To answer it, the load amperage must be stated. Without the amperage of the load the question can not be answered.
