If you touch both neutral and live wire together do you get shocked?

The neutral is supposed to be grounded on all installations, single phase and three phase, according to the electrical code so no you will not get a shock if you touch the neutral wire. If the neutral wire is not grounded you might in some circumstances get a little tickle of voltage.

∙ 10y agoPlease do not try touching wires to see if you feel a shock. The neutral wire is earthed at the point where it leaves the distribution transformer outside the house or within 100-200 yards of it. The voltage on the neutral is therefore only a few volts at the most.

Why cant you have both hands in a breaker box?
When you are working around live electricity you need to complete a circuit to get shocked. If you just put one hand in box it reduces the likelihood that you will inadvertently touch a hot with one hand and a ground or neutral with the other.
In what type of system must the switch always interrupt the hot wire?
You switch the hot side instead of neutral, because there is a shock hazard otherwise. If a fault caused hot to connect to a metal part on the device, you would get shocked touching the metal part. Sometimes a double pole switch will switch both hot and neutral in special applications. It is never a good idea just to switch neutral.
Why is milk neutral?
It is both neutral and acidic depending on the cow and food.
Can groundwire be together with neutral wire at the dyer?
Ground and neutral should only be connected at the main electric panel to prevent parallel neutral currents. If it is a new installation, you must provide four wires (two hots, 1 neutral, & 1 ground) and connect to the four separate (appropriate) places on the dryer. If it is an existing installation and it only has three wires (two hots and a neutral) connect the neutral to both the neutral and ground connection of the dryer (the National Electrical Code allows this exception for older homes). Call a qualified electrician to do any electrical work.

What effect does a negative object have on a neutral object?
If the event horizon (space, in this case) of one of the items is breeched by the other and touch, the neutral object becomes negatively charged. If they never touch, they both remain in their present condition. The neutral object's condition will never affect the charge of the negatively charged object, whether they touch or do not touch. The negatively charged item's condition will never change, regardless of physical touch between the two items. ***************Contributed by Czar Acumen*******************

Is monetary policy neutral in both the short run and the long run?

In simple words we can say that when birds sit on the single conducting wire then there is not closed path&when it touch both conductor at a time then closed path forms & birds die due to shock
