より線と単線の違いを説明してください。
Please explain the difference between stranded wire and solid wire.
単線 is a solid (single-strand) wire, while より線 is composed of multiple twisted strands, making it more flexible but slightly higher in resistance.
Compound of 撚り (yori, 'twist', from verb 撚る yoru) + 線 (sen, 'wire, line'). The spelling より線 uses kana for the verb-derived part, which is common in modern technical terms.
