Wire gauges are numbers. A thick wire is #4, a thin wire is #18.
The most common standards for wire gauges are the American Wire Gauge (AWG) and the Standard Wire Gauge (SWG). AWG is primarily used in North America, while SWG is more common in the United Kingdom and other countries. Both standards use a numerical system to represent wire sizes, with lower numbers indicating thicker wires.
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.
The cross-sectional area of a 12 AWG solid wire is approximately 6530 circular mils. Circular mils are commonly used to measure the cross-sectional area of wires and cables in electrical engineering.
0.0453 inches
The larger the wire gauge, the smaller the diameter. 12 gauge is bigger than 14 gauge.
To convert guage to mils, multiply by 0.01 (see related link). 1 gauge equals 0.01 mils
A mil is a thousandth of an inch. 3 inches is therefore equivalent to 3000 mils.
Roughly 15.6 mils or 15.6 thousandths of an inch. Roughly, 1 gauge = .86 mils.
18 gauge solid copper wire is 40.3 mils in diameter, that is 0.0403" stranded would be larger.
The amps that a four gauge wire will handle will depend with the thickness of the wire. If the wire is thin, the four gauge will handle 95 amps.

1 circular mil = 1 mil x 1 mil a=d2 so if a wire has a diameter of 80 mils, it has an area of 6400 circular mils.
For wire gauge, 1.25 mm diameter wire is closest to 16 gauge (AWG). See related link.
To convert mils to circular mils, you simply square the mil measurement. Since one circular mil is defined as the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil, you can use the formula: Circular mils = (mils)². For example, if you have a wire with a diameter of 10 mils, the conversion to circular mils would be 10², resulting in 100 circular mils.
The recommended gauge of wire to use for a 12 or 14 gauge wire is typically 10 gauge wire.
34 gauge copper wire will work but to use the 35 gauge copper wire is the best choice
the gauge of the wire determines how much amperage a wire can carry the insulation determines how much voltage the wire can handle
