Since the resistance is more, current would not flow easily. A thick wire would have large area of cross section, hence less resistance. Since the resistance is less, current would flow easily. Hence, current would flow more easily in a thick wire
The current will flow more easily through the thick wire than the thin wire. It is because the resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross-section. If thicker the wire, less is resistance and hence more easily the current flows.
