If the voltage in a circuit is kept constant and the wire diameter is increased, the resistance of the wire decreases. According to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance, a decrease in resistance results in an increase in current. Therefore, with a larger wire diameter, more current will flow through the circuit at the same voltage.
