My range came with a 4 wire power cord and it requires both 120V 240V. Should I connect three phases being one connected to the neutral?

No! Two hots and a neutral, plus a ground. The neutral would land on the screw marked with a "W" or with a white dot and the ground to the green screw, the two hots land on the remaining screws. If you are unsure, call a qualified electrician. You can burn down your house or hurt yourself if you do not know what you are doing.

All three legs of my dimmer are hot?
If the hot is connected to the supply and it is turned on and the switch is turned on and the neutral not connected this could be quite true. Connect the neutral to the supply neutral and shut the switch off. Now the only reading that you should get is the hot supply.
Should neutral wire of lamp be connected to the 3amp or the 6 amp side of a canopy switch?
You should never switch the neutral wire. The neutral of the appliance should be connected directly to the neutral wire leading to the service panel neutral bar.
Why is it that when you touch the neutral in a box that is not connect to the panel cause the test light to come when touching the power wire?
It shouldn't. The open end of a non connected neutral should have the same potential as the voltage feeding the circuit. The only time a voltage will show is when the return neutral is tested with a meter to the neutral bar or the ground return bar. It will then show what the supply voltage to the connected load is. Once this neutral is connected to the neutral bar there will be no voltage shown across the test meter between the neutral and the neutral bar or the ground bar.
Why should you not connect any electrical switch to the neutral instead of the phase?
IF Neutral is connected to the Switch then Live still exists on the socket even if the Switch is OFF.In such a situation a person can get a shock as Live can form a circuit thru the body to Ground.
Where do you connect the white wire from the shunt breaker?
Connect to the circuit neutral wire which should also be white.
Where should the neutral wire be connected if there is not another neutral wire in the wall box?
If you have a missing neutral you have a problem that needs to be corrected. You cannot connect to the ground because you will create potential ground loops. Unless you can provide more information you need an electrician. I guess he could be up to the new code and have an empty neutral pulled to a switch box? Who knows......
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.

Should grooved wire be connected to white wire?
If you are referring to lamp cord type wire where both wires are brown then yes, connect the wire with the groves to the white neutral and the smooth wire to the black hot wire.
Why is the current source connected in series only?
Current sources should not be connected in series. It's okay to connect them in parallel.
What should you do when your ipod is connected and it still says connect a device?
If this is when you first get it, that means you need to load music on to your iPod before you can do anything. If this is when you push the iTunes App, that means that you are not connected to Wi-Fi.
