,→About Wires
: A '''wire''' is usually covered in an [[Electrical Insulator|insulator]] such as [[Plastic (Material)|plastic]]. This prevents [[Electrical Current|electrical current]] leaving the [[circuit]] when the [[wire]]s are touched. This also prevents [[electrocution]].
: [[Wire]]s are [[heated]] by an [[Electrical Current|electrical current]] passing through them.
: [[Wire]]s are designed to be a low [[Electrical Resistance|resistance]] in order to allow an [[Electrical Current|electrical current]] through them without losing [[energy]] too much [[energy]] by [[heating]] the [[wire]]s.
