No, using the AWG system of measuring wire sizes the smaller the wire numbers go the larger the wire size becomes. Hence the number 14 is smaller that the number 16 so it is largest in size of the two wires.
A 40 amp breaker is used in conjunction with AWG # 8 copper wire. The black and red wires are connected to the breaker. The ground wire is connected to the ground bar and the white wire is connected to the neutral bar.
A well stocked metal work shop should have a wire guage as should your local hardware store
It depends if you mean the telegraph or wiring. The telegraph was invented by Samuel Finley Breese Morse around 1832. If you mean just wire, nobody really knows who invented it. Wire is probably over 4000 years old.
Number 8. Rated for 40 amps
Of course, it was the Aztecs because they invented the number system
Due to the fact that a #8 wire is of a larger diameter than a #10 wire, I would say that logically it should be stronger to break.
The barbed wire was invented by Joseph Glidden. The barbed wire was invented by Joseph Glidden.
The wire whisk was invented by Sylvan Nathan Goldman, the person who invented the shopping cart. I am not sure WHEN the wire whisk was invented but I am trying to find that out too :)
barbed wire was invented on October 27,1873
The amp size of a wire is determined by its gauge, not the number of wires. An 8-gauge wire is typically rated for around 40-60 amps, depending on the type and insulation of the wire.
Yes, 8 gauge wire is thicker and stronger than 10 gauge wire. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire is. Therefore, 8 gauge weld wire fencing would be stronger and more durable than 10 gauge wire fencing.
many thousands of kilimeters

In cooper electrical wire, gauge 8 means the wire size assigned by the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. That is why you always will hear about AWG WIRE, it's not the type of wire is the gauge that we are talking about. A gauge 8 wire will be used for connections requiring from 40-45 amps to a maximum of 73 amps. (24 for power transmission). Diameter of an 8 AWG wire is 0.12849 inches. 8 AWG is solid, not stranded.
No, using the AWG system of measuring wire sizes the smaller the wire numbers go the larger the wire size becomes. Hence the number 14 is smaller that the number 16 so it is largest in size of the two wires.
