Will current flow more easily through a long wire or a short wire?
don't know that's why i need help
Steady flow of electrons?
elelctric current
What is the difference of poor conductors and insulators of electricity?
Current is the rate of flow of charges. More free electron means more current in conductor.Conductor means element that allows electrons to follow through them easily. Insulator means element that does not allow electrons to flow at all. Conductor like copper atom; has free electrons that flow easily within the conductor. On the othe hand insulators like rubber; does not have any free elctrons. That's why insulators are poor conductor of electricity.
Does a short thick metal wire or a long narrow metal wire have more resistance?
yes, Easy of flow of current increases with increase of area of cross section.
What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?
Parallel circuit
Will the current flow more easily through a thick wire of the same material when connected to same source?
Yes, there is less resistance in a larger wire than a thinner one
Why a big diameter wire has less resistance?
The situation is similar to a thick versus a thin water hose - water can flow more easily in a thick hose. In the case of a thick wire, there are more places where an electron can go through.
Does a lamp with a thick filament draw more current or less current than a lamp with a thin filament?
A lamp with a thick filament will draw more current. What restricts the current flow in the filament is the resistance of the filament which increases as the temperature of the filament increases. A thin filament requires less energy to get heated up that a thick one so less current to achieve threshold resistance. Also a thick filament provides a broader path for current so there is less resistance per increase in degree centigrade. For these two (closely related but distinct) reasons it will require more current for the filament to get heated up to threshold resistance.

What are the advantages of co-current flow?
A Counter-current flow has more advantages as comapared to a co-current flow.
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.

Will water flow more easily through a wide pipe or a narrow pipe?
it would flow more easily through a narrow pipe
Comparison of Counter-current flow and parallel flow?
Counter-current flow is more efficient then parallel flow. Shahzad, MUET Chemical Engineer
If voltage remains constant and resistance decreases current flow?
the current will increase because of a lower level of resistance , hence more current will flow- easily
Electric current is sometimes incorrectly defined as simply a flow of electrons What is wrong with this definition?
Electric current is the rate of flow of electrons.AnswerA more accurate definition of electric current would be that it is a flow of electric charges. While current flow in a metallic conductor is, indeed, a flow of electrons, in other conductors -such as electrolytes- current flow may be a movement of ions. So, it would be more accurate to define current in terms of charge flow, rather than in terms of electron flow.
