Amperage is always measured with the guage in series with the hot wire. That is the one wire is cut and the guage goes in line as opposed to some devices which have a hot and neutral (or ground).

What is the 16 gauge amp rating?
That is 10 amp wire.
What is the amp rating of NM wire?
The ampacity or amp rating of all wire is rated by the size of the wire. NM (non-metallic sheathing) wire is no different. In household wiring 14 gauge wire must go on a 15 amp breaker/ 12 gauge goes on a 20 A and 10 gauge goes on a 30 Amp.
What is amp rating for 16 gauge wire?
10
Can you use 10 gauge wire to connect a 2 15 amp outlets to a 30 amp breaker?
no
Can 15 amp rated outlets be used with twelve gauge wire?
A. It's 240 volts & B. Wire size is a function of amperage. 12-gauge wire is used with 20 amperes or less. So, 12-gauge wire can be used with 120V/20A or 240V/20A. Keep in mind though that 240V in the U.S. has 2 live 120V lines so if you encounter a white wire, it's probably an unmarked live & should be repainted as black or better yet, red (to indicate the 2nd live wire).

Is it safe to use 10 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker for a microwave?
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
What gauge wire for a 60 amp circuit?
AWG #6 wire.
What is a wire gauge and what is it's use?
wire gauge is used to determine the size of the wire to be installed based on the amperage draw of whatever is being hooked up on the receiving end. ie 14 gauge is for a 15 amp circuit, 12 gauge is for a 20 amp circuit, 10 gauge 30 amp etc. to get specific amp draw ratings on a particular gauge of wire look at a current National Electric code book or ugly book.
