Answer:

The wires which are thin are made because there is less area of cross-section which leads to large resistance.

Answer:

Explanation:

The resistance of a long wire is greater than the resistance of a short wire because electrons collide with more ions as they pass through.The resistance of a thin wire is greater than the resistance of a thick wire because a thin wire has fewer electrons to carry the current.
