Answer

No.14 carries more current than No.18

Explanation

In the American Wire Gauge(AWG) current ratings, the higher the number the thinner the wire.A typical household wire is AWG number 12 or 14. Telephone wire is typically AWG 22, 24 or 26.The higher the gauge number, the smaller the diameter and the thinner the wire. Due to less electrical resistance, a thicker wire carries more current with less voltage drop as compared to a thinner wire. It is advisable that for longer distances, it will be necessary to increase the wire diameter and reduce the gauge so as to limit the voltage drop.

Identify ways party leaders can influence members of their party in Congress
patriot [66]
The Speaker decides which bills will be assigned to which committees. This is one way he or she can use party leadership to influence members of their party in Congress. If a wayward member is sponsoring a bill, the Speaker may assign that bill to a committee where the bill is likely to get an unfavorable reception and be killed. Conversely, the Speaker can assign the bill to a safe committee where the bill will receive a favorable reception in exchange for the sponsor’s party loyalty.
