Is a wire carrying more electrons will transfer more energy than a wire carrying fewer electrons?
Not necessarily.More energy is transferred through a wire when the product of(number of electrons carried) times (voltage between the ends of the wire)is greater.
Is a statement accurate when i say that a wire carrying more electrons will transfer more energy than a wire carrying fewer electrons?
no
What is this is the energy associated with movement of electrons through a wire or circuit?
That's called electrical energy.
How can you convert electronic energy to electrical energy?
If, by electronic energy, you mean electrons then you don't convert it- that's what it is. Electricity is the flow of electrons from a negative terminal to a positive. In a wire it is delocalised electrons which are free to move
Does every conductor resist the flow of electricity?
All conductors resist current flow to a certain degree. Even superconductors lead a few electrons astray. Really it is the energy flowing. Being transferred between atoms. The electrons hang around the local neighborhood while the energy imparted to the wire goes from place to place.
If more electrons were flowing through a wire what would be increased?
If more electrons were flowing through a wire, the thing that would be increased would be the current. This is the flow of the carriers of electrical charges.
What is present when currents flow through a wire?
There must be a Electron flow in that wire. Or Energy in the form of Electric will flow in that wire. Influences that are present are Voltage, Ohms, and Amperes (amps)
What form of energy is flowing though the wire?
Usually electricity.
What is needed to get electrons flowing through a wire?
A driving Force i.e A difference in the potential.
Why electric current current exist if an electric circuit is broken?
well, current is the movement of free electrons so if you break a point in the wire you effectively stop the electrons from flowing as the electrons need to be touching each other in order to pass on energy or charge. The reason why if there is a gap in the circuit the electrons dont just jump it is because of resistance of air as the electrons in air are not free to flow they are not conduction electrons unlike in a metal such as copper wire.

Why is less resistance for a conductor wire good?
Resistance in a wire restricts the movement of the electrons through the wire. This restriction transfers some of the energy contained in the electrons into the material of the wire and as this energy accumulates in the material of the wire the wire starts to heat. Therefore, there the energy that is transferred into the wire material is considered wasted because it is not available as electrical energy, which means the consumer who is using that wire is charge for the electrical energy that is waste. It the resistance is less in that conductor the consumer will save money.
Why does a wire become warmer when a charge is flowing through it?
Because the electrons in it are moving about. This is similar to what happens when you run about, you become 'hot'.
