Why does thin wires have high resistivity than thick ones?

Thin wires have higher resistivity than thick wires because of increased electron scattering in thin wires. In thin wires, electrons collide more frequently with the wire's atoms or impurities, causing more resistance to the flow of current. Thicker wires have more free space for electrons to move through, resulting in lower resistivity.


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


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.


Does electrey faster in thick wire or thin one?

The speed of an electric signal or current depends on the material, not on the thickness. In metal, it is usually about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum. On the other hand, a thin wire has a higher electrical resistance than a thick wire (other things being equal). But this does not affect the speed.


Why does electricity moves faster through thick wires than thin wires?

You should think of the wires like a river, a small stream can only let so much water past. A large river can transport more current, faster. Two wires made of the same substance, but of different sizes will not transfer electrons equally, because there is less metal to conduct the electricity in the smaller wire. Also, metal has shared electrons, this is why metal reflects light the way it does, and why it works so well as a conductor, the electricity literally just flows right through it! I hope that helps you out :D


Why freezers use thin or thick wires?

because


What do thick wires resist electricity?

Thick wires have lower resistance to electricity compared to thin wires because they have more surface area for the current to flow through. This lower resistance allows for more efficient transmission of electricity with less energy loss in the form of heat.


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.


Does thin wires have high or low resistance?

Thin wires have high resistance because they offer more obstruction to the flow of electrical current compared to thicker wires. This increased obstruction results in higher resistance, as described by Ohm's law.


Does thick or thin hair usually grow faster?

It depends upon the individuals genes. Thick or thin the gene pool rules.


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.
