Question

will current flow more easily through a thick wire or a thin wire of the same material when connected to the same source why​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The current will flow more easily through a thick wire than through a thin wire of the same material when connected to the same source. This is due to the fact that the resistance of a wire is inversly proportional to the square of its diameter.

Answer 2

$\huge\bf{Answer}$

Resistance is given by the equation,

R = ρ l/A

where,

ρ is the resistivity of the material of the wire,

l is the length of the wire

A is the area of the cross-section of the wire.

From the equation, it is evident that the area of the cross-section of wire is inversely proportional to the resistance. Therefore, thinner the wire, more the resistance and vice versa. Hence, current flows more easily through a thick wire than a thin wire.
