"AWG" in the neighborhood of electrical stuff stands for "American Wire Guage". That's just a standard set of numbers to represent the thickness of wire, used for about the past 150 years. A higher AWG number means thinner wire. If it refers to the wire in the house wiring or the extension cord you're using, then a higher AWG number means that it can deliver less power to outlets or devices than larger wire could. The number of circuits isn't the limiting criterion. The total amount of power supplied to them is.
