Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the numerical value of AWG goes higher, the cross sectional area of the wire decreases. This means that a higher AWG number indicates a thinner wire. This is because the AWG standard is based on a logarithmic scale, where a 10% increase in diameter corresponds to a decrease of one AWG size. So, as the AWG number increases, the diameter and cross sectional area of the wire decrease.
