Another name that can be used for a single-strand wire is thread or strand.
Need to know the wire size.
The one refers to a single strand of # 18 wire. If there were 2 wires it would be referred to a 2C 18, three conductor would be referred to as 3C 18 and so on up to as many wires that are in a cable set.
A given crosssection or diameter of the conductor can be obtained by a single strand wire or with many smaller diameter wires put together. For example a 4 sqmm wire can be one solid wire of 4sqmm or can comprise many smaller diameter wires twined together. A solid wire is more rigid whereas multistrand wire is flexible. A solid wire may not need a terminating lug, whereas a multistrand wire needs a terminal lug for termination / connection to a terminal block
5 amp fuses are usually 20 mm or 25 mm long and contain one strand of wire.
Wire can be fabricated in two different forms. Solid wire refers to a single wire, while stranded wire is a wire which is made up of more than one single solid wire twisted together. A stranded wire is much more flexible, and less subject to breaking from flexing than a stranded wire of the same size.
Another name that can be used for a multi-strand wire is a cable.
No. Usually when you get to that size panels the grounds are stranded.
flexible strand of metal = wire
The neutral wire will have writing or ribs on it and connects to the white wire. The smooth wire is hot and connects to the black wire. Use 3 strand wire in size AWG # 16. If the fan has a light it will have a blue wire. Connect that blue wire to the black wire.
In domestic cables up to about 10 mm2 the current divides equally among all the strands.
To calculate the area of a multi-strand wire you use the formula D = square root of (4S divided by pi), where S equals the number of strands times the area of one strand.

It is the chemical components that make up the insulation on some types of wire. Cross-Linked Polyethylene Insulation (XLPE), High Heat Resistant, 90ºC Rating, Wet and Dry Locations.
They arent. Most are either 2 or 4 conductor. EDIT: Telephone cables in the UK consist of either four or six-core cable - depending on the circumstances of the installation. Each strand of the cable is a single wire wrapped in a colour-coded sheath to aid identification. The reason each wire is only a single strand, is because the current used to power the phone-line is extremely small, so doesn't need multi-stranded cable. (Snakester1962)
A solid (single-strand) wire can hold some weight, but it is probably not strong enough to hold up lighting unless it is very small (i.e. a single LED). Metal will also become brittle if flexed often.
