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.

What is a transmission electron microscope image formed by?
electrons passing through ultra thin samples of cells or tissues
Where do the wires from a starter go on a 89 suburban?
the thick cable goes to the battery positive terminal . one thin wire goes to ignition switch
Which holds hair in place longer period of time gel or hairspray?
Gel holds hair in place for a longer period of time because gel is more thicker than hair spray.Hair spray is very thin.
Is the right ventricle muscular walls thicker than the left?
No. The wall of the left ventricle is much thicker. The left ventricle pumps blood through the systemic circuit, which travels though the entire body, excluding the lungs, returning to the right atrium. This requires overcoming the various resistance factors within the blood vessels including, but not limited to, distance traveled by the blood, gravity, and vessels with a narrow radius. To generate the necessary pressure, the muscle, or "wall" of the left ventricle, is much thicker, and therefore much stronger. The right ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonary circuit (to the lungs and back to the left atrium) which is much shorter and less complex, and therefore requires much less pressure and far less muscle.
How do light-bulbs work?
An electric current passes through a thin filament, heating it until it produces light. The enclosing glass bulb prevents the oxygen in air from reaching the hot filament, which otherwise would be destroyed rapidly by oxidation.
Do thin wires have a greater or lesser resistance to electron flow than do thicker wires?
Thinner wire has greater resistance than thicker wire, assuming the same amount of current.
Compared to thin wires electrical resistance in thick wires are?
The electrical resistance in thick wires is less than thin.
Which has greater resistance a thick wire or a thin wire of the same lenght?
The thin wire has more resistance to the flow of electric current than the thick wire. If you connect the wires to a battery the battery will supply electrical pressure (voltage) and the wires serve similar to pipes that conduct water under pressure. A small pipe exhibits more resistance to the flow of water and a thin wire exhibits more resistance to the flow of electrons. However, as you point out different wire materials exhibit different resistances for equal sizes (silver conducts better than copper, etc.).
Is the wire gets thicker or thin when the resistance is less?
Resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
Does thin wires have high or low resistance?
Other things being equal, a thin wire will have a higher resistance than a thick wire.
If two wires of the same material have the same thickness but different length the blank wire will have greater resistance?
The thinner the wire, the higher the resistance. The thicker the wire, the resistance decreases. Think of it this way. The thick wire has more room for electrons to jump around, but the thin wire has less room.
Function of a vehicle lighting relay?
you can take thin wires up to a relay then run thicker wires to lights or do you mean a bulb fail relay.
Which has the greater resistance thick wire or a thin of the same length?
The thermal resistance of a wire is proportional to ln(r2/r1), meaning that a thicker wire has a greater thermal resistance.
Why is there more resistance in a thin wire than thicker wire?
Due to the less space available for the electrons to travel across the thinner wire.
Why do some appliances need thicker wire cable than others what would happen if thin cables is used?
Some wires need to be thicker than others because depending on the appliance a different amount of voltage will be passing through the wires. If a wire was very thin the wire would get so hot it would burn, melt and/or catch on fire. Hope this helps.
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 current go faster with thick or thin wires?
Thin wires
