Yes - at least, it is possible to pass more current through the thicker wire. How much current actually flows can also depend on other factors.

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 pass through kerosene?

No, kerosene is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. Therefore, current does not pass through kerosene.

Yes.


Can current pass throug one thick conductor?

Wire is sized to carry current, it doesn't matter whether the voltage is AC or DC. The larger the diameter of the wire the more current it is allowed to carry.


What does electric current pass easily through?

it can easily pass through a wire a conductor or a battery


Why is current established more easily in a semiconductor than in an insulator?

Semi conductors will pass electricity through with some restriction. Insulator will not pass electricity


Will a thicker or thinner copper wire of the same length allow more electric current to pass through?

A thicker copper wire will allow more electric current to pass through because it has lower electrical resistance. Thinner wires have higher resistance due to increased resistance per unit length. This causes more voltage drop and heat dissipation in the wire, limiting the amount of current that can flow through.


Can sunlight go through not thick paper?

Yes, sunlight can typically pass through thin paper. Thicker or more opaque paper may block some sunlight, but thin paper will usually allow light to pass through with some level of transparency.

Does the same current pass through each bulb?

If the bulbs are connected in series, the same current passes through each bulb. However, if the bulbs are connected in parallel, the current will split between the bulbs with the lower resistance receiving more current.
