Is 30 gauge wire smaller than 26 gauge?
yes. The higher the number the smaller the wire.
What does AWG mean?
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.
What is thicker 14 gauge or 18 gauge fence wire?
Well I am asnwering this just because the body piercing industry uses AWG (American Wire Gauge) for a standard jewellery gauge. So 14g is thicker than 18g, the higher the number the thinner it is, the lower the number the thicker it is.
Does a 26 gauge wire have a lower resistive value than a 24 gauge wire?
If the wires are of identical materials, the 26 guage wire has more (higher) resistance.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
