Which size wire has the highest current carrying capacity:
Question

Which size wire has the highest current carrying capacity:

A.

4 gauge

B.

10 gauge

C.

12 gauge

D.

18 gauge

Correct option is A


4 gauge wire has the highest current carrying capacity out of the options given. This is because thicker wires can carry more current. 
Explanation:
· The current carrying capacity of a wire is determined by its circular mil area. The larger the area, the more current it can carry. 
· 4 gauge wire is often used in large-scale power distribution systems, such as connecting to large batteries or power inverters. 
· The current carrying capacity of a wire can also depend on the insulation material and the ambient temperature.
