If you have a #10 wire that needs to be change what would be the most resonable wire to use? A. #18 B. #6 C. #12 D. #8 sorry if you don't have no #10

Like dSilanskas said use #10 Cu to replace #10 Cu or depending on the amperage, and the wire type (either copper or aluminum), use what's recommended to carry the load.
If the amperage isn't known, call an electrician to do the work for ya, any well trained electrician can tell ya what amperage the device draws in a matter of minutes.

Trevor, yes it is, he edited after we responded.

Parache, after a post has been replied to you should not edit it, you can post a new post with a correction.

What was your answer to the question?

He added this piece at the end "sorry, if you don't have no #10"

I would go buy some and it would also depend on the size conduit if you were to use any bigger sizes.

What does it feed? What is the rating of the circuit? Without knowing, of those choices #8 to be safe, but watch out for maximum fills with the larger wire. As others have said, getting more of the same type of #10 would be best.

This probably being a exam question, the answer could be C if it's a motor load less than 16 amps. If it's a lighting load on 30 amp fusing D would seem like the most logical substitute.
 
still LOL!

still LOL!

Is the Tulies like the Boonies with tulips?
Just wonderin' cuz the last time I was working in the boonies, the last thing I worried about NOT having was 10 wire...I was more concerned with having a couple sheets of charmin....LOL
just sayin' he he
 
I use D. Of course it would depend on what I was feeding and the load. Better to have a lil extra.

As far as the tulies.....:-? Thats one i've never heard before. I'm originally from the deep south and i've heard of the boonies, BFE and a few others but never tulies. I'm curious.....what is it?
 
Also peculiar to California's San Joaquin valley, is the Tule Fog. I believe a certain marsh reed is named a Tule. So here, to say something is "out in the sticks" or "boondocks" one says "out in the tulies" instead.
