it's a mechanical advantage of 1 (meaning no mechanical advantage).

The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the ratio of the radius of the wheel to the radius of the axle.
In theory a wheel and axle has only one mechanical advantage. You can find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.
Explain how the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle change as the size of the wheel increases?

Well, I don't think that there is an advantage. See, a conventional wheel is made of steel and steel rusts really easily.
Since mechanical advantage would be helpful for this situation, the diameter of the steering wheel is larger than the typical steering wheel. Increasing the diameter of the steering wheel allows for a large mechanical advantage.
The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the ratio of the radius of the wheel to the radius of the axle. Ex:- Suppose the radius of the wheel is four times greater than the radius of the axle, every time you turn the wheel once, your force will be multiplied four times.
