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.
Compared to thin wires electrical resistance in thick wires are?
The electrical resistance in thick wires is less than thin.
What is a form of energy that moves through wires?
Electricity moves through wires.
How does electricity get from a power plant to your home?
Through wires...
Can static electricity pass through wires?
Yes, it can.
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.
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
Compared to thin wires electrical resistance in thick wires are?
The electrical resistance in thick wires is less than thin.
What is importants of electricity?
The wires and that you have the wires
When electricity flows wires into our home?
Electricity does not flow wires into your home, wires direct the flow of current into your home.
Does current go faster with thick or thin wires?
Thin wires
How was electricity captured inside of electrical wires?
Electricity is not "captured" inside of electrical wires. The question makes no sense.
What properties make iron not as good to use in wires as copper?
copper is a more better conducter than iron and therefore is able to pass more heat than iron. basically copper wires are used in many instances and domestic needs as it is cheaper and can resist electricity
Materials such as glass or ceramic that resist the flow of electricity?
"Insulators"
Do Eskimos have thick skin to resist the cold?
No they are just normal people.
