    The larger the wire the more current it can handle. If the wire is too small for the current flowing through it, it acts more like a resistor in the circuit. The wire heats up in this scenario, can melt the insulation around the wire and cause short circuiting and potentially electrical fires.

    Yes it makes it a lower resistance of energy flow.
