What type of electrical wire would I need to run a few appliances on that is 500ft away?
What type of wire would I need in order to span 500ft away and still power a few appliances (radio, window fan, and 2 lights)?
Don't know much about the electrical terms, but it sounds like there is too much resistance to just use extension cords.
A radio, window fan, and 2 lights (i.e. compact fluorescant, "CFL" types) is not a big 'load'.
The fan and incandescant lamps (normal light bulbs) can handle voltages much lower than 120 Volts. The radio may, or may not be able to handle a lower line voltage -- read the label or owner's manual to be sure. If you use CFL bulbs, make sure you buy ones that are rated for lower line voltage, too.
Given a small load, and the probability that most of these 4 items can probably stand a lower line voltage, you can use five 100' extension cords, each one at 12 gauge. Or, buy 500' of 12-3 "Romex" type house wiring (might be cheaper than 5 extension cords).
12 gauge wire is 1.6 Ohms per 1000' (which you have -- exactly 1000 feet). A radio, fan, and 2 CFL light bulbs can be anywhere between 150 and 250 Watts (powerful fan). At 240 Watts that is 2 Amps. 2 Amps multiplied by 1.6 Ohms is a voltage drop of only 3.2 volts. This is certainly acceptable at the far end of the span.
With 12 gauge wire, you can probably run 500 Watts of stuff, but I wouldn't go much higher.
With 10 gauge wire, you can run upwards of 1000 Watts of stuff.
As for safety and whether it is legal for a long-term installation -- consult your local building ordinances.

Electrical Wiring and Repair
Right knowledge and correct tools are the basic requirements to complete an electrical repair work successfully. Following the step by step instructions and keeping the safety procedures in hand makes the task absolutely hassle free. Still, electrical repair work becomes one of the most dangerous tasks if taken up by an amateur.
Before going further in to the details of how to proceed with the electrical wiring and repair work, one should be well aware of the following basics.
- One should be well educated about the local laws in regards of the electrical repair before beginning the task. In many cities, the law do not permit the unlicensed person to take up any electrical wiring or repair work, not even the home owner.
- Faulty wiring techniques, defective electrical appliances and substandard materials become the prime cause behind many house fires. Thus beware of these perils.
- Severe consequences are the result of smallest mistakes.
- There do exist an electrical code to maintain the uniformity and the consistency of any electrical repair work. One should always match up or exceed to these standards while doing the job.
- Last but not the least, the licensed electricians are the most trusted and reliable people assigned for such jobs. Hire them if you have slightest confusion, or at least take their advice before beginning your job.
Step by step instructions to take up any electrical wiring and repair work:
-
- Locate and switch off the electrical circuit attached to the outlet you need to work upon.
- Then remove the receptacle box. If you want to replace the electrical outlet, cut the wires.
- You must choose the correct electrical outlet replacement.
- Now connect the new electrical outlet to the existing wiring. The wiring done should meet the standards to avoid any mishap in future.
- If possible, get your work inspected by an experienced and licensed electrician. Then put the switch on to test your repair work.
A little panning and lot of knowledge can make your repair work a success. Still, do not try your hands on such errand if you have slightest doubt in mind.
