Copper wire and cable

Copper wires and cables are used to send electricity or signals from one place to another. Imagine you have a toy car and you want to make it move using a battery. You need to connect the battery to the car using wires made of copper. Copper is a special metal that conducts electricity really well, which means the electricity can flow easily through the wire.

Now, imagine you want to connect many things at once, like your toy car, a light bulb, and a fan. You need more than one wire, and that's where cables come in. Cables are made up of lots of copper wires bundled together in a protective outer covering.

To make copper wires and cables, people take copper and heat it up until it's not solid anymore. They then stretch it out into thin wires or weave it into cables. Think of it like making a snake out of play-doh by rolling it between your hands.

Copper wires and cables are used all over the world to send electricity from power plants to our homes, to connect our computers and phones to the internet, and even in medical equipment to monitor our health. They're a really important part of our modern world!
