From what i can tell with the National Electrical Code the smallest wire listed is 18 AWG that is listed at 7 amps and 5.6 for continuous loads which is running for more then 3 hours at a time so i would rate a 20 AWG at about 5 amps MAX and 2.5 for continuous but good luck with that

A 120-volt household circuit delivers 350 watts of power to an appliance and another 10 watts of power are consumed by the circuit With no ground fault. How much current is carried by the neutral?
Here is my full question - A typical 120-volt household circuit delivers 350 watts of power to an appliance, and another 10 watts of power are consumed by the circuit. There is no ground fault. a. How much current is carried by the hot wire? b. How much current is carried by the neutral? c. How much current is carried by the grounding conductor? d. Calculate the resistance of the circuit: by "consumed by the circuit" I assume you mean consumed by the wires. Assuming resistive loads only, the total load is 360 watts, thus the current is 3 amps. The current flows in the hot and the neutral.
A wire carries a current of 6.0 amperes How much charge passes a point in the wire in 120 seconds?
720 C
What does a inductive ammeter do?
It measures current by creating a coil around the current carrying wire. Current flowing in the wire induces a current in the amp-meter proportional to the current flowing in the wire.
What wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
What is the current carrying capacity of silver wire?
The current capacity varies depending on the length and diameter of the wire
Electric current in a metal conductor is carried by?
Electric current in a metal conductor is carried by a wire. This wire has been specifically adapted to carry this current.
What is the definition of current-?
Current is known as the flow of an electrical charge. This is carried by moving electrons in a wire.
Why does wire get to hot?
The current flow is too much
Why does wire get hot?
The current flow is too much

If 45 amps loads and 20 loads drawing in a two phases services entrance how much current carried neutral wire?
are supplied by circuits on oppsite legs of the service entrance panel . if each load draws 30amps ,what is the current flow in the neutral wire
What else increases as energy carried by a current increases?
The amount of electric energy that is converted into thermal energy increases as the resistance of wire increases. As the resistance in the current increases, the current in the circuit decreases.
How much current at 240 volts passes through a wire with a resistance of 100 ohms?
current = voltage/resistanceAssuming the 240 volts is across the 100 ohm wire, 2.4 amperespower = current * voltageResulting in the wire dissipating 576 watts... One hot wire!
Why dont electrical wires overheat when they are used?
The amount of heat produced in a wire depends on the resistance of the wire and the amount of current through it. As long as the current is less than the capacity of the wire, the heat will be small enough that it can dissipate into the surroundings at the same rate that it is produced, so the temperature of the wire will not rise more than a few degrees. If the current exceeds the capacity of the wire, the heat produced cannot be carried away quickly enough and the temperature of the wire will rise rapidly.
Does more current pass through a thick wire than through a thin wire?
Yes - at least, it is possible to pass more current through the thicker wire. How much current actually flows can also depend on other factors.
How much current does a starter wire draw to activate the solenoid?
25amps
How much current can a 10-gauge copper wire carry?
30amps
