American Wire Guage. The smaller the number the larger the wire. As in an AWG 14/2 wire is much smaller than an AWG 10/2 wire.
American Wire Gauge ( AWG )
10 AWG can be solid. 8 AWG and larger should be stranded. 2008 NEC 310.3 2011 NEC 310.106(C)
depends on the amperage. 14 AWG for 15 amps, 12 AWG for 20 amps, 8 AWG for 50 amps.
No way
I think you mean 16 AWG THWN. It's coating for PVC piping.
AWG 16
A #16 AWG will work.
16 awg can be used for the toaster
Smaller numbers mean thicker wires

12 awg is larger.

Most lighting circuits are 15 amps and require 14 AWG wire. 16 AWG wire has a smaller cross section than 14 AWG and cannot be used in the 15 amp circuit. I had an answer here and deleted it when I found it to be at least partially incorrect. What I found is this: Sec 240.5(B)(2) allows 16 AWG fixture wire to be run up to 100 feet in length when attached to a 20 amp circuit. I thought it was 18 inches. Fixture wires are defined in Table 402.3.
Awg 16-2 how about 12/2?
