Why does electricity moves faster through thick wires than thin wires?

You should think of the wires like a river, a small stream can only let so much water past.
A large river can transport more current, faster.
Two wires made of the same substance, but of different sizes will not transfer electrons equally, because there is less metal to conduct the electricity in the smaller wire. Also, metal has shared electrons, this is why metal reflects light the way it does, and why it works so well as a conductor, the electricity literally just flows right through it!
I hope that helps you out :D

Is electricity faster in a thick wire or thin one?
They run through both evenly! .o.
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.
Can electricity pass through oil?
yes,but in this case refraction takes place.
What do thick wires resist electricity?
Other things being equal, a thick wire has less electrical resistance than a thin wire.
How is beta used in determining paper thickness?
it penetrates through the paper into a detector that measures how much got through which determines how thick it is. 23
Can electricity move faster through thick or thin wires?
No, it moves at the same speed regardless of the wire gauge.

What is the name of the thick wire that electricity flows through?
astronomical fence
How can you read a thick book faster?
You read a thick book faster by practice reading thin books in 30 minutes and then you move up the levels day after day. (Just don't skim through it.)
How Fast Are Venus Clouds?
It has a thick cloud cover of sulfuric acid, it moves fifty times faster than earth's cloud cover. hope this helped
How does petroleum produce electricity?
You burn it. They put it through a process called predothermia. it then turns to a thick liquid and then a different processes convert it to, for example, gasoline and then you burn that product and produce electricity.
What is a large tick mass of ice that moves?
A large thick mass of ice that moves is an Iceberg.
