A length of conductive material used as a conductor of electricity.
A wire may consist of one or more strands of conductive material (often copper, but also aluminum, silver, gold, etc.) woven or twisted together to conduct electricity. May also have a dielectric insulator.
Sometimes erroneously referred to as a "cable," which typically consists of several electrically isolated wires in a shared insulator or jacket.
