If you are referring to the connection of simple household electrical wires, and there is some slack in them, this is easy! You will need to skin the covering of the the wire with a knife first. The easiest way to do this is to carefully carve a small circle around the covering and then slide it off to expose the bare wire. Do this on both halves of the wire and then put the bare wire side by side and twist it. Now cover the twisted part with ELECTRICAL tape, making sure that NO bare wire is exposed. Wrap extra electrical tape around the spliced area to strengthen the repair. If there isn't any slack in the wires, find a piece of wire of the same gauge and just splice it into the gap on both ends as above. I hope this answers your question. If the wires are carrying a heavy load, replace the wire instead.... See discuss question.

How did we used to connect wires?
With Junction boxes.
How do you wire two outside light sensing motion porch lights that are controlled from one switch with each light having a white black ground and optional red wire?
Connect the black wire from the switch to the black wires of both lights. Connect the white wires together. Connect the red wire, if used for the motion sensor, to the black wires on the lights. Connect all ground wires together and to the ground terminal on the switch. Make sure to turn off power before connecting any wires for safety.
Can you cut and splice antenna wires?
It is not recommended to cut and splice antenna wires as it can impact the performance of the antenna. It's better to use connectors or adapters to extend the length of the antenna.
Can you connect Two wires to one main lug in a panel board?
No, you should not connect two wires to one lug in a panel board. Each lug is designed to accommodate only one wire in order to ensure proper connections and to prevent overheating. If you need to connect multiple wires, you should use a wire nut or a junction box to splice the wires together before connecting to the lug.
Connecting a 240v to 24v 40va transformer?
To connect a 240V to 24V 40VA transformer, you will typically have two input wires for the 240V side and two output wires for the 24V side. The 240V input wires will connect to your power source, while the 24V output wires will connect to the device or circuit that requires the lower voltage. Make sure to follow proper wiring guidelines and safety precautions to avoid any electrical hazards.
