A computer bus is an electrical interface where many devices share the same electric connection allowing signals to be transferred between them (allowing information? or power to be shared). A bus often takes the form of an array of wires that terminate at a connector which allows a device to be plugged onto the bus. A common example is the PCI bus in PCs.
