Compared to thin wires electrical resistance in thick wires are?
The electrical resistance in thick wires is less than thin.
Does electricity move better through thick or thin wire?
Electricity moves better through thick wire. This is because thick wires have a lower resistance and allows more current to pass through it. Now that might be true but I did an experiment with a thick wire,thin wire,light bulb,and D batteries and the thin wire made the light bulb light up brighter. So, really its probably a thin wire.
Can electricity move faster through thick or thin wires?
No, it moves at the same speed regardless of the wire gauge.
Is it better to use thin wires or thick ones?
I think thick wires are smarter
Why does thin wires have high resistivity than thick ones?
Less surface area and cross section for the current to travel through.
Why freezers use thin or thick wires?
because
If you have a thick wire attached to the positive terminal of a battery attached to a light bulb attached to a thin wire of the same length will the current be the same in both wires?
Yes; the current will be zero, because--as described--the wires are not connected in such a manner as to create a circuit.
Does thick or thin hair usually grow faster?
It depends upon the individuals genes. Thick or thin the gene pool rules.
Are wires thick?
Some wires are thick, others are thin. Wire thickness of up to about 30 mm diameter is used in electrical power distribution.
Thin wires have a what resistance to electron flow than do thicker wires?
Thin wires have a greater resistance rhan thick wires. Imagine a straw. The thinner the straw. the less liquid can get through. Wires work the same way.
Why longer thinner wires produce more heating than short thick wires?
First of all, that's only true if the current through the thin wire is the same or greaterthan the current through the thick wire.The power dissipated from anything carrying current is(the current through it)2 x (its resistance)Making a wire thinner OR longer increases its resistance, so if the current remains thesame, then [ I2R ] must be greater.
Thin wires resist electricity more or less than thick wires?
A thin (smaller diameter) wire resist more electricity than a thick (larger diameter) wire. Just like a larger pipe will allow more water to flow than a smaller pipe, a larger wire has more cross-sectional area to allow more current to flow.
