The most common way of making an electrical connection is with a device called a wire nut. Solid wire connections should be twisted together with a pair of pliers before installing the wire nut to hold the splice tight. Twisting stranded wire together with a pair of pliers does not allow the wire nut to grip the wires as tight as it should. Stranded wire should be held together side by side (in parallel) and let the wire nut twist the wires together to make a solid splice connection.

Where do most electrical accidents happen at home?
From poor connections, worn electrical cords, frayed electrical cords and using larger wattage bulbs then authorized.
How are the electrical outlets in your home wired?
Different countries have different electrical standards and, so, electrical outlets are wired in different ways in different countries. Basically, there are two types of connection: radial and ring main. Radial connections are the most common, internationally, while ring-main connections are standard in the UK and those countries whose standares are based on the UK wiring regulations.

What is the characteristic of a diode when electrical current passes through it?
A "diode" is any of several devices; the only thing they have in common is that they have two electrical connections - hence the name. These devices have different functions. The simplest semiconductor diode, and one of the most common, is probably the rectifier diode. It lets current pass in one direction, but not in the other direction.
