American wire gauge (AWG), also known as the Brown & Sharpe wire gauge, is a standardized wire gauge system used since 1857 predominantly in North America for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire.

Which awg wire gauge indicates the smallest wire diameter?
The larger the wire gauge, the smaller the diameter. 12 gauge is bigger than 14 gauge.
what electrical wire size is largest?
Wire size 0000 AWG is the largest electrical wire. It is 0.46 inches in diameter or 11.86 mm in diameter. The cross sectional area is 107.16 mm(squared).
What is OD of wire?
OD means outside diameter.
When An aluminum wire 5m long and 2mm diameter is connected in parallel with 3 m long the total current is 4A and that in the aluminum wire 2.5A find the diameter of the copper wire the respective 1.7?
School question.
What length of wire of diameter 1mm can be made from a 1cm cube of metal?
Approximately 127 cm length of a wire with a diameter of 1mm can be used to make a 1cm cube of metal.
What is the diameter of 16 gauge wire?
16-gauge wire has a diameter of 0.05082 inches.
If the wire is increased what should happen to the diameter?
If the length of the wire increases its diameter decreases
Which wire would have the least resitance a large diameter or small diameter wire and why?
large diameter wire simply because it will move easier Technically they would have the same resistance, but the larger diameter wire would allow more current to flow as it would have more room to move.
What is the cable diameter of a twin copper wire?
There isn't a specific diameter. The thicker the wire the more current it can convey. This diameter will be part of your calculations for your circuit.
Does a wire with a diameter of 0.01 mm have lower resistance than a wire with 0.1 mm?
No, a smaller diameter wire has a higher resistance. The 0.01 mm wire will have 1/100 the cross-sectional area of the 0.1 mm diameter wire, therefore the resistance will be 100 times as high.
Which awg wire gauge indicates the smallest wire diameter?
The larger the wire gauge, the smaller the diameter. 12 gauge is bigger than 14 gauge.
How is the diameter of a wire measured?
gauge
How is the circular mil area of a round wire determined?
By the diameter of the wire.
What is the thickness of enamel on magnet wire?
aprox 10% of the diameter of the wire
What is diameter of 22 AWG wire?
22 AWG has a diameter of 0.0253 inch.
Do thicker or thinner wires have more Resistance?
Over the same distance the larger diameter wire will have less resistance that the smaller diameter wire.
What is the diameter of a thin wire?
0.2 inches
