Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
It is known that the current flow depends on the resistance offered by the conductor, and the resistance depends inversely on the cross-sectional area of the conductor. In other words, the current flowing through the conductor depends inversely on the cross-sectional area of the conductor. The greater the cross-sectional area, the lesser the current flowing through the conductor and vice versa. Therefore, the current flows more easily through a thick wire than through a thin wire.
Hence, the current can flow more easily through a thick wire than a thin wire of the same material when connected to the same source.
