what is mean by live wire ?
A live or hot wire is a conducting wire that carries electrical current in the form of oscillating voltage. Contact with the wire can cause an electrical shock in some settings, as a body can act as a ground and the electricity will flow through the path of least resistance, the body, to reach the ground. Special precautions are necessary to limit the risk of electrical shock from live wires, whether they are downed electrical wires or household wiring.
