No. The larger wire can carry more current.
Oceanic crust is 6 to 11 kilometers thick while the continental crust is 100 kilometers thick, so the continental crust is more than five times as thick as the oceanic crust. I hope this well will help for the future and current time.
Yes, more current will typically pass through a thick wire compared to a thin wire because the thicker wire offers lower resistance to the flow of electricity. This lower resistance allows more electrons to flow through the wire more easily, resulting in a higher current.
No, metal is generally more conductive than the human body. Metals such as copper and aluminum have much higher conductivity compared to the human body, which means they can more easily carry electric current.
The 12 Amp fuse will take a larger current before it blows (or trips) - than a 10 Amp one.
Thick steel wool will conduct electricity better than thin steel wool because it has more surface area for the current to flow through. The thicker material allows for more pathways for the electricity to travel, resulting in lower resistance and better conductivity.
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.
Primary winding carry more current. We measure the current in one single wire, so no of turns are 1, in secondary the no of turns are higher. so, obviously it has higher voltage then this wire. so, finally as per the transformer rule the secondary carry lesser current than primary.
I don't know but I think it can't because there is more resistance in a thin wire and there is more space for electricity to flow in a thick wire but then again... I could be wrong...
Conductors with more cross-section area can carry more current than thinner ones. That's why you use a thicker "heavy duty" extension cord to run big appliances, and why the service drop from the pole to your house has wires as thick as your thumb.

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.
Yes, more current will typically pass through a thick wire compared to a thin wire because the thicker wire offers lower resistance to the flow of electricity. This lower resistance allows more electrons to flow through the wire more easily, resulting in a higher current.
-- What we usually call a 'cable' has more than one conductor in it. At least two or three, and sometimes hundreds. -- Each and every conductor is covered by its own plastic or rubber 'jacket', to prevent its touching any of the others. -- Any conductor in the cable that's expected to carry appreciable current must be extra thick, in order to keep its resistance low and avoid heating.
Current Transformer- Instrument transformer used for measure high current. it hasless and thin turns in primary and more and thick turns in secondary.Potential transformer- Instrument transformer used for measure high voltage. it has more and thin turns in primary and less and thick turns in secondary.CommentUnfortunately, the original answer has got things the wrong way around for the CT! A current transformer's primary has a thicker conductor than its secondary.

There more thin filaments than thick filaments in smooth muscle. The ratio is of the thin to thick filaments in the smooth muscle is approximately 15:1.
