If you are referring to string gauge, it is usually approximately .1mm to .5mm range. The finer the strings, the more flexibility, but they are also less durable and may break easily, depending on how much you abuse them. I like to play blues with some very high bends (2-3 semitones), so I use a finer .08 to .42 range. I generally buy several packs as I break the B and high E sometimes. You can opt for a thicker gauge string, but it is less flexible and harder to bend.

What is the correct gauge for electric guitar strings?

There is no "correct" gauge for guitar strings. Use whichever gauge is comfortable for you. Higher gauge strings will ring louder and longer, but sustain and volume aren't as much of an issue with electric guitars as they are for acoustic guitars. If you're really unhappy with the sound of your current strings, try another brand or move to a higher gauge once you build up some finger strength.
