Today the car wouldn't start at a friend's house who had no jumper
cables.
He had some electrical wire though.
We were just starting to jury rig something when his wife showed up
with
cables in her trunk.

If we did jury rig electrical wires, we were unsure of what size would
work.

How can we determine what size electrical wire would work to jump a
typical
sedan in an emergency?

There is no real way to do that

Sure there is moron,

We'll see, ****wit.

just apply Ohms Law and consult a wire gauge table.

Problem is that you need to know the current
involved to do that and need to know if the
reason why the car that wont start wont start.
