For the same material and the same length, the thicker conductor always
has lower resistance.  That means that if the same potential difference exists
between its ends, then more current flows through the thicker one.

A good intuitive way to think about it like this:  Electrons have to move from
one end of the conductor to the other end.  If there are more paths available
for them to take, then they don't get so bunched up, and it's easier for them
to flow in the conductor.  Just like a highway for cars.  If there are a large number
of cars trying to drive from one end of the highway to the other end, then it'll be
a lot easier for all of them, and more of them will get through every hour, if the
highway has MORE LANES . . . that is, a THICKER road.

Its in thick wire cause the size of copper increases and more space is given there for current 
thats it :)

An 8.00- W resistor is dissipating 100 watts. What are the current through it and the difference of potential across it?
hjlf

Answer:

I= 3.5 amps

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

rating of resistor R= 8 ohms

power P= 100W

Required

The current I

Step two

Yet this power is also given by

P = I^2R

make I subject of the formula we have

I= \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }

substitute

I= \sqrt{\frac{100}{8} }\\\\I=\sqrt{12.5}\\\\I= 3.5 amps

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc
Lapatulllka [165]
Let's calculate the average acceleration. It is the rate of changing speeds. Hence, we need to calculate the difference of speeds. 10-6=4 m/s. The rate is now \frac{4m/s}{2s} =2m/s^2.
In general, the formula for the mean acceleration between two times 1 and 2 is given by:
\frac{u_2-u_1}{T} where v1 and v2 are the speeds at the respective points and T is the time interval between them.
