A wire is a single, usually cylindrical, flexible strand or rod of metal.

Wires are used to bear mechanical loads or electricity and telecommunications signals.

Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate.

Wire gauges come in various standard sizes, as expressed in terms of a gauge number.

The term wire is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands, as in "multistranded wire", which is more correctly termed a wire rope in mechanics, or a cable in electricity.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.

An electric light is a device that produces visible light by the flow of electric current.

It is the most common form of artificial lighting and is essential to modern society, providing interior lighting for buildings and exterior light for evening and nighttime activities.

In technical usage, a replaceable component that produces light from electricity is called a lamp.

Compact lamps are commonly called light bulbs; for example, the incandescent light bulb.

Lamps usually have a base made of ceramic, metal, glass or plastic, which secures the lamp in the socket of a light fixture.

The electrical connection to the socket may be made with a screw-thread base, two metal pins, two metal caps or a bayonet cap.

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence of electric charge.

Although initially considered a phenomenon separate to magnetism, since the development of Maxwell's Equations both are recognized as part of a single phenomenon: electromagnetism.

Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others.

In addition, electricity is at the heart of many modern technologies.

An electrical ballast is a device placed in line with the load to limit the amount of current in an electrical circuit.

It may be a fixed or variable resistor.
