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.
What do thick wires resist electricity?
Other things being equal, a thick wire has less electrical resistance than 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.
Does thin wires have high or low resistance?
Other things being equal, a thin wire will have a higher resistance than a thick wire.
What happens to resistance of the wire if the wire is short?
Short wire has less resistance Long wire has more resistance Thick wire has less resistance Thin wire has more resistance
Is electricity faster in a thick or thin wire?

Can electricity move faster through thick or thin wires?
No, it moves at the same speed regardless of the wire gauge.

Can a thin wire carry more voltage than a thick wire?
I don't know but I think it can't because there is more resistance in a thin wire and there is more space for electricity to flow in a thick wire but then again... I could be wrong...
Which offers more resistance to the flow of charge a thick wire or a thin wire?
Thin wire.
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.

Does thick wire produce more light than thin wire?
yes
Why is thick steel wire stronger than thin steel wire?
The material will yield when stress reaches a critical value. Stress = Load / Area Thick steel wire is stronger than thin steel wire because there is more cross sectional area in the thick wire. Although the material's strength in load per unit area would be the same, the ultimate load that the wire can sustain would be more in the thick wire. A simple way of looking at it is to imagine a thick wire as a number of thin wires stuck together. If a thin wire can support a mass of 1kg then 2 thin wires can support 2kg. A wire which is twice as thick (twice the cross sectional area) can also support 2kg.
Does thin wire carry more current than thick wire?
No. The larger wire can carry more current.
Does thin wires have high or low resistance?
Other things being equal, a thin wire will have a higher resistance than a thick wire.
