How does width of the wire affect the flow of current in a wire?

it just does The thicker the wire the more space there will be for electrical current to flow. What this means is that the electrons have a lesser chance of hitting the atoms and causing resistance.

What is the resistance of a connecting wire?
it depends on the length and width of the wire
How do you measure electrical current flow in a copper wire?
Electrical current flow in a copper wire is measured with an ammeter. It is either clamped onto the wire or attached at one end to monitor the amount of current moving through the wire.
A flow of electric charge in wire?
direct current
What slows the movement of electrons?
Insulators
What is a flow of electrons moving along a wire or conductor?
An electric current. <<>> The term used for the flow of electrons through a conductor is amperage.
What is the resistance of a connecting wire?
it depends on the length and width of the wire
Why does the diameter of a wire affect its resistance in terms of current being a flow of electrons?
Because its bigger, so more electrons can flow through
How does a current flow through a wire?
according to kcl the current flows through a wire
Why the current not flowing through the wire when one end is connected to the positive terminal and the other end is let open why the positive potential does not affect the electrons in the wire?
since it is not grounded ,it does not accept the flow of current
Moving a wire through a magnetic field does not create a current flow in a wire?
Not true - Moving a wire through a magnetic field doescreate a current flow in a wire.false
Is there actually current flowing through the return wire?
Yes, there is a current flow through he return wire in a closed circuit. The only time there is no current flow through the return wire is when the circuit is open.
The flow of charged particles is an electric?
The flow of electricity is called electrical current.
How do you measure electrical current flow in a copper wire?
Electrical current flow in a copper wire is measured with an ammeter. It is either clamped onto the wire or attached at one end to monitor the amount of current moving through the wire.
Can you flow a current in vacuum without wire?
no
Flow of electricity through a wire is called?
It is called electrical current.
Why does wire get to hot?
The current flow is too much
Current needs to flow through a connector such as?
wire
