Does more current pass through a thick wire than through a thin wire?

Yes - at least, it is possible to pass more current through the thicker wire. How much current actually flows can also depend on other factors.

If alternate current is pass trough electric bell will it ring?
if alternate current is pass through electric bell will it ring?
Which microscope would you use if the object is too thick to let light pass through it?
A Light stereoscope microscope; this type of microscope is used to see three dimensional views of objects too thick to let light pass through.
What must pass through a coil in order to make an electromagnet?
An electrical current will cause an electromagnet to energise.
Why steel becomes a permanent magnet after electric current is passed through it?
Electric current is magnetic so when electric current pass through steel , steel will have the electric power and may be magnetic for awhile
How can a electromagnet pick up more metal things?
More than what? - An electromagnet can pick up metal due to its magnetism - assuming it is turned on. If you increase the current, the electromagnet becomes more powerful - but you must be careful not to pass too much current, otherwise the wires might burn through.
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 you boil water if you pass electric current through it?
Yes, we can boil water if we pass enough current through it......
Is it true the alternating current can pass through a capacitor while the direct current cannot pass through?
Yes.
Which property makes it difficult for current to pass through?
Resistance in the circuit makes it difficult for current to pass through.
Why does a thin wire have more resistance than a thick wire?
Because the thick wire is, of course, thicker, it has more area than the thinner wire. This means more electrons can flow through. It's like a highway, the wider it is, the more cars that can pass through.
Will a thicker or thinner copper wire of the same length allow more electric current to pass through?
A thicker wire will transmit more current
What is the difference between series and parallel circut?
If two or more circuit elements are connected in series, the current must pass through each of them in turn. If two or more circuit elements are connected in parallel, that means there is a "fork in the road". In this case, part of the current will pass through one element, and part, through another one.
What does electric current pass easily through?
it can easily pass through a wire a conductor or a battery
Can current pass throug one thick conductor?
Wire is sized to carry current, it doesn't matter whether the voltage is AC or DC. The larger the diameter of the wire the more current it is allowed to carry.
Why can not electric current pass through wood?
coz wood is an insulator, where there's no free electrons n thus current pass through the wood :)
Can air pass through oil layer?
The current cannot pass through the oils.Oils are moleculer so molecules cannot conduct electric current
Why is current established more easily in a semiconductor than in an insulator?
Semi conductors will pass electricity through with some restriction. Insulator will not pass electricity
