Which is larger in diameter12 AWG or 15 AWG wire?
12 awg is larger.
What type of wire gauge should be used for a 20-amperes circuit?
Yes, 12 AWG is good for 25 Amps if copper wire.If aluminum wire, then good for 20 Amps.
What is the smallest copper wire size permitted by the national electric code for a 20 amp single phase electrical circuit?
I think you mean either what is the correct size or minimum wire size needed when a branch circuit is protected by a 20 A breaker. The size is 12 American Wire gauge (AWG). 14 AWG is used for 15 A circuit and 10 AWG for a 30 A breaker. The lower the gauge the larger the cross-section of the wire.
Which wire is smallest in AWG?
The larger the AWG number the smaller the wire. 10 AWG wire can carry more current than 12 AWG wire.The wire sizes of 24 and 26 are the smallest that are used in the electrical.See related links below
What size PVC conduit would be required to carry five runs of number 12 AWG conductors?
It's 12 AWG THHN, 1/2" PVC would be just fine

Splice 5 12 AWG wires into 1 4 AWG wire?
No, code does not allow that.
What gauge wire for 20A?
12 AWG.
What is the name of the wiring on the 380 volts system?
depends on the amperage. 14 AWG for 15 amps, 12 AWG for 20 amps, 8 AWG for 50 amps.

What gauge wire is used on a 20 amp breaker?
AWG 12.
What can you operate on 120 volts at 30 amps?
Yes, if you are using AWG # 10 wire. If you are using AWG # 12 then the answer is no you must use a 20 amp breaker. On AWG #14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker.
Can 12-2 wire be used where only 14-2 wire is required?
Yes the ampacity of #12 is 20 amps whereas the ampacity of #14 is 15 amps, so you are well within the range using #12 wire.
Circular mils for 12 awg solid wire?
True
