[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8925098, member: 675210"] For you [USER=683408]@RobGMN[/USER] I asked Claude if twisting two wires together to allow current to flow is a bridge. Guess what it spit out!!! Yes, in the sense you mean, that's accurate. If you're twisting two conductors together specifically to make current flow between two points that weren't otherwise connected, you're creating a bridge — an electrical connection joining two nodes. "Bridge" in electrical terms just means a connection that joins two points, allowing current to pass between them where there wasn't a path before (or providing an alternate path alongside an existing one). A twisted-wire splice that completes a circuit, jumps across a gap, or ties two separate points together so current can flow fits that description. A few related terms you might also see used depending on context: jumper (a wire used to bridge two points temporarily or permanently), splice (joining two wires, usually in the same line/circuit), and short (a bridge that wasn't intended, usually a problem).
