Resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of the wire.
`R ∝ 1/"r"^2 or R prop 1/"a" or R ∝ 1/"ЁЭЬЛЁЭСЯ"^2`
where 'a' is the area of cross-section and r is the radius of wire and R is the resistance. In other words thick wire offers less resistance and thin wire offers more resistance. In thick conductor electrons suffer less collisions.
