What is a "live wire"?

A live wire is an electrical wire that carries an active electrical current. It is typically the wire that is connected to the power source and is responsible for supplying electricity to devices or systems. A live wire can be dangerous to touch as it carries voltage that can result in electrical shock or fire hazards. To avoid accidents, live wires are often insulated and marked clearly in electrical systems. It is important to handle live wires with care and ensure they are properly maintained and secured to prevent accidental contact or short circuits.
