Can there be 230 volt potential drop in both neutral and live socket practically?
This question is not quite clear but I will try it somehow. The voltage drop between the live and neutral, and live and earth will both be 230v, but the voltage drop between the neutral and earth is almost zero due to the fact that the neutral and earth is basically one conductor split.
What are differences between earth and Jupiter?
you cant live on Jupiter
What is the neutral current?
I think you mean "what is the permissible imbalance between live and neutral current" All current supplied by the live wire should exit via the neutral. Any imbalance leaving via Earth is detected by an earth leakage circuit breaker . They trip at about 30 mA.

What colour earth neutral and live in armoued cable?
All depends on what country you are in, wiring standards and cable type. Industrial cable in the UK is. :- Red = Live Black = Neutral Copper wire = earth. (add Green/Yellow striped sleeve at junctions.) Domestic is:- Brown = Live Blue = neutral Green/yellow stripe = Earth Europe Black = Live Blue = Neutral Brown = Earth
Why would you get half voltage between live and neutral?
You can measure a small voltage between earth and neutral, even if the neutral is grounded to earth, because the neutral conductor acts as an antenna picking up electromagnetic radiation in the atmosphere. -------------------------- If the above answer were true, the earth conductor would also act as an antenna. But the real answer is, if you read ANY voltage between the neutral and earth, the neutral is broken somewhere between where you are measuring and the panel or not properly bonded in the panel. Call a competent electrician to repair the problem.
Does a toaster use a neutral phase?
There is no such thing as a 'neutral phase'. 'Live' or 'hot' conductors are called 'lines', whereas the neutralconductor is at approximately earth (ground) potential.So, a toaster would be connected between a line and a neutral conductor.
Why you get an electric shock if you touch live and neutral wire?
Because there is a potential difference between the live and neutral wires.
What are some differences between Uranus and venus?
the planet uranus doesnt have air yu can breath but earth has air we are able to live there
Why do outlets have 3 holes?
Live, neutral and earth. The supply is carried on the live and neutral, and the earth normally carries no current, but if there is a fault the earth is there as a safety factor and in some conditions it carries enough current to blow the fuse and make the circuit safe.
How many conductoers are there in single phase line?
Three: Live, Neutral and Earth
What would happen if the live and neutral wires were crossed in a 3 pin household plug?
Current in a standard house is AC (alternate) so it doesnt matter if the live and neutral are crossed. Should the earth and live be crossed then the earth leakage would trip
