If the home was wired properly the black or red wire are hot the white is neutral and the green is ALWAYS the ground
If wired correctly the red wire will be hot, but any wire can be hot regardless of colour if done incorrectly.
The hot wire carries current from the source to the electrical device, while the neutral wire carries current back to the source. This completes the circuit and allows electrical devices to function properly. The distinction between the two ensures proper functioning and safety in the electrical system.
No, there are different occasions when the red of a three wire cable gets used as a hot wire. There also times when the white wire gets used as a hot but has to be re identified as a hot with marking tape. When wiring baseboard heaters the cable used is red and black with no white wire in the set.
The symbol for a hot wire in electrical diagrams is typically represented by a straight line.
Generally, if the electrician did it right, the BLACK wire is HOT, and the WHITE wire is NEUTRAL. Meaning that the white wire is the center tap of the main transformer, and the black wire(s) are either leg of the 240 volt output. Since the hot to center tap only takes half of the 240, it ends up being 120 volts at your outlet.
In electrical wiring, the black wire is typically the hot wire.

Yes, the red wire is hot in this electrical circuit.
If wired correctly the red wire will be hot, but any wire can be hot regardless of colour if done incorrectly.
In an electrical circuit, the black wire is typically designated as the hot wire.
When checking for electrical connections, the wire that is hot is typically the black wire.
No, the hot wire should not be connected to the ground wire in an electrical circuit.
In an electrical circuit, the white wire is typically used as the neutral wire, not the hot wire.
The hot wire in an electrical circuit is the wire that carries the current from the power source to the device or appliance.
The black wire is typically considered the hot wire in electrical wiring.
No, the white wire is typically neutral in electrical wiring, not hot.
