Answer:
The current will flow more easily through thick wire. It is because the resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross – section. If thicker the wire, less is resistance and hence more easily the current flows.

Answer:
The current will flow more easily through the thick wire.
Explanation:
The current will flow more easily through a thick wire. It is so, because the thick wire has more area.
We know that resistance is inversely proportional to the area. It means that more area and less resistivity and less area so , more resistivity. Also , the current is inversely proportional to the resistance. That means , more the resistance , and less the current and less the resistance , more the current.
Here , as per the given situation, the thick wire has more area. So , the resistance will be less. Which means that the current will be more.
So , the current will flow more easily through the thick wire.
