why thick wire offers less resistence to current comparibly to a thin wire thay offers more resistence? I need a detailed answer for this.

Hi friend,
As we know resistance is depend upon the length and area of cross section
i.e. R= ρl/A
as think wires have a more area of cross section than thin wires so resistance will be less in thick wires because R is inversely proportional to the area of cross section of an object so thin wires possess more resistance

we know that the resistance depends upon even the cross section of a wire.
look at the formula:
R = PL/A
we can conclude that resistance is inversely proportional to cross section thats why resistance decrease when cross section increases.
Thus, in a wire as the conductor cross section area increases then the resistance reduces.
also,
consider this,
a larger or thicker wire will naturally have a large space and the atoms have less intermolecular forces between them.this will allow current to pass easily giving less resistance power .but it is opposite in a thin wire.
hope it helps!!!!

thats what I call a perfect answer
