Depends. Typically red is hot and black, however on an automotive stereo its typically yellow to +12, red to ignition/accesory +12, and black to negative
In US household electrical service there are two "hot" 110 volt wires and one ground. Only one hot wire is connected to a normal outlet or light fixture. To wire a 220 volt alternating current outlet, both hot wires are connected to the outlet. This is used for appliances that need more power than is provided by 110 volts like electric ranges, clothes dryers, air conditioners.
The ground is always hot on summer because at this season of the year the distance between the sun and earth is so close that the sun-rays reach the surface and warm it up continuously.
They make cool burrows in the ground when it gets too hot!
If the two wires are on a parallel feed you would read the current through the parallel feeders. If the two wires are "hot " to the load and return back from the load the meter will read zero. The two magnetic fields that surround the wires when a current flows through them will cancel each other. As a result of this there will be no magnetic induction induced into the sensing coil of the clamp on meter.
munro chambers has brown hair,green eyes,skinny,and extremly HOT and his favorite colors are purple and black
hot wires are black, white wires are ground
I'm not sure if this is the same but the ground wire going to the stereo is not really ground! Try running the hot wires for your new stereo right to the fuse box or straight to the bat and see if that cures it. I had a problem that was very similar but it wasn't a Tacoma.
ground is the black...
Hot and ground( red=hot green=ground)
Hot wires in home are normally colored black. And ground wires in computers are normally colored black as well.
there should be 5 wires, hot and switched hot for the switch and hot, neutral and ground for the gfci receptacle.
the answer is YES, use a test light to find the + and - wires (should be one ground wire and two hot wires [one hot all the time for your clock & one hot only when the key is on]) in order to find which speaker is which, use a 1.5 volt battery to make a popping sound in the speaker (won't hurt the speaker) and then the solid color wire will be your positive & the wire with the stripe will be your speaker ground.
Hot, neutral and ground.
Hot, neutral and ground.
black wire is hot wire .And the white is the common or white is ground. Depends on what your talking about in an outlet or car battery. In a outlet the ground wire is green or bare copper. neutral is red and hot is black (I remember it by hot can kill you so black is death) if I am not mistaken. As for a car battery i think it's the opposite red is hot and black is neutral.
Another homework question? The wires could be Hot or Live, Neutral and Ground.
There should be 2 or 3 wires. A hot, a neutral and sometimes a ground.
