◼Current flows more easily through a thick wire than a thin wire of the same material and when connected to the same source.
◼This is because resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the square of its diameter.
◼ A thick wire has a greater diameter and thus lesser resistance which makes the current flow through it more easily. Whereas, a thin wire has smaller diameter and hence, greater resistance to the flow of current through it.
