Question

1. the higher the american wire gauge (awg) number the:

oa. smaller the wire.
ob. longer the wire.
oc. thicker the insulation.
od. more strands are in the conductor core.

Explanation:

American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a standard method of denoting wire diameter. As the AWG number increases, the diameter of the wire decreases. This is a well - known relationship in electrical engineering (a sub - field of Natural Science). For example, a 12 AWG wire is larger in diameter than a 14 AWG wire.

Answer:

A. smaller the wire.
