The American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a shorthand way to identify key characteristics of the size of a wire and pertinent specifications associated with the size. So you will often hear someone ask what gauge wire do I need for a 15 Amp circuit in my home. The shorthand answer in this case would be 14 AWG for a typical residential wiring job.

∙ 12y agoNo, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
A domestic D/W uses 14 gauge wire.
Use 8 gauge wire.
I would recommend you use 1/0 gauge
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
34 gauge copper wire will work but to use the 35 gauge copper wire is the best choice
The wire gauge in thin headphone cables is quite small. I have read of people rewiring their headphones using 12 Gauge wire. There are commercial cables that use 11 gauge. The thicker the wire the less the resistance up to a point. Many headphones use 22 or 24 gauge and it seems to work OK.
The cars computer is calibrated for a certain gauge wire. There is a small amount of leeway allowed. However use as close to original gauge wire as possible.
It is better to use 16 gauge or 14 gauge speaker wire for your home theater applications.
use a stronger wire for longer antennas...the gauge may not be as important as the strength if you string it outside.

You can use a micrometer to measure the diameter of the wire. You can also consult the wire's datasheet or product specifications for information on its thickness. Another option is to use a wire gauge tool to determine the wire's thickness based on its gauge number.

Yes, you can splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair. Make sure to use wire connectors or solder the wires together securely to ensure a strong and reliable connection. It's important to match the wire gauges properly to maintain the integrity of the electrical circuit.
Yes, 8 gauge wire is thicker and stronger than 10 gauge wire. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire is. Therefore, 8 gauge weld wire fencing would be stronger and more durable than 10 gauge wire fencing.
