12 gauge is thicker. Household wires in the walls are mostly ga 14. Majority of wires in the car wiring are ga 16, except control wires which are thinner, like ga 18 or 20, and main battery wires wich are very thick, probably ga 4 or 6.

What is 12 awg?
Size 12 in the American Wire Guage (AWG). It's a wire of about 1/10 inch diameter.
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 standards are used for wire gauges?
The diameter of the wire measured in MCM, (thousand circular mils). Wire sizes in the U.S. are described in AWG, (American Wire Gauge) such as #12 awg printed on the wire.
What is the diameter of 12 gage copper wire?
12 gauge equals 0.0808 inches or 2.0525 millimetres, if using the American wire gauge (AWG) scale.
Which is larger in diameter12 AWG or 15 AWG wire?
12 awg is larger.
What is 12 awg?
Size 12 in the American Wire Guage (AWG). It's a wire of about 1/10 inch diameter.
What is the gauge number of the wire with a diameter of 2.0 mm?
AWG # 12 is 2.053 mm in diameter.
What is larger 12 gauge wire or 20 gauge wire?
Yes, a #12 AWG conductor has a greater diameter than a #14 AWG conductor. A #12 conductor has an ampacity of 20 amps whereas a #14 conductor only has an ampacity of 15 amps.

12 awg is larger.
What is 12 gauge steel thickness?
12 swg 2.64 mm thick
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 gauge wire for 20A?
12 AWG.
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
Splice 5 12 AWG wires into 1 4 AWG wire?
No, code does not allow that.
