Wire Gauge Required Question
For some reason I just can't understand the various wire gauge tables, and I have tried to, so I am hoping somebody will take pity and do all the work! :) One table that I can follow says that for...

Another bit of info on AWG (american wire gauge) wire gauges follow a logrithmic scale. So, changing a wire gauge by 3 doubles or halves the resistance. E.G. going from 13g (I know, doesn't exist) to 10 gauge will cut resistance in half. Or, going from 14 to 12 or 12 to 10, will not quite cut the resistance in half, probably cuts it by about 35-40%.
Changing by 10 increases or decreases resistance by a factor of 10. So 1g has 1/10 the resistance of 10 gauge. and 20g. has 10 times the resistance of 10g.
so if you don't have a handy dandy chart of ga. vs. ohms/ft, using the above will give you a good idea of what to expect with changes in AWG.
Now, if it isn't AWG, I have no clue how resistance relates to ga.
