What should you do if you accidentally remove copper strands while stripping a wire?

Continue using the wire
Patch the wire with tape
Cut it off and start over again
Use wire connectors to fix it

The correct answer is: Cut it off and start over again

When stripping a wire, maintaining the integrity of the copper strands is crucial for proper electrical conductivity. If copper strands are accidentally removed during this process, it indicates that the wire has been compromised. Cutting it off and starting over ensures that you are using a wire that is fully intact; this allows for optimal current flow and reduces the risk of electrical failure. Continuing to use a damaged wire could lead to poor connections and potential safety hazards, such as overheating or short-circuiting. Patching the wire with tape might offer a temporary solution, but it does not restore the wire's electrical properties, and wire connectors wouldn't be effective in this scenario either, as they rely on a complete and undamaged wire for proper functioning. Starting fresh with an undamaged wire guarantees safety and reliability in the electrical system of the RV.
