Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge)
system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of higher gauge.
Thus the thin 24-gauge wire included in many electronics kits has a wire
diameter of 0.51 mm, while a thicker 12-gauge wire used for many home
audio speakers has a wire diameter of 2.05 mm. Different gauge wires
have different maximum current ratings, with thicker wires being capable
of safely handling larger current.
