What is the visual difference if any between the hot and neutral side of a duplex outlet?

On the reverse termination points, the "hot" wire connects to the brass coloured screw and the neural wire connects to the silver coloured screw.
The U shaped opening is for the ground blade and the reverse side, the green coloured screw is where the ground wire of the circuit connects.

How many volts are in a duplex?
A duplex outlet is 115vac.
Which prong of an outlet is live?
Looking at a duplex receptacle the right smaller slot is hot, the left larger slot is neutral and the u ground is ground.
What is the definition of duplex outlet?
Electrical wall outlet having two plug receptacles.
What color of wires are found on a 120 volt duplex poutlet?
A 120 volt duplex outlet is the main type of outlet for residential outlet system. The wires are typically white and black, and there should only be two of them.
What are the colors of the wires on a duplex outlet?
Black, white, and copper.
Do I need two ground wires -one for each socket- if I split an outlet?
No. You can split the hot feeds and you can split the neutral feed, but both outlets of a standard duplex receptacle share the ground.
What difference between 13Ampere socket outlet and 15Ampere socket outlet?
2 Amp
Does a 208 volt outlet need a neutral?
No a 208 volt outlet does not need a neutral. 208 volts is the line voltage between any two legs of a three phase 208 volt system.
On a standard three prong AC outlet what should the AC voltage measure between neutral and ground?
Zero, or very close to it. If there is a large neutral current flowing, voltage drop on the neutral leg could cause a volt or so to read between the two. If you read full line voltage, the outlet is wired wrong!
How can I put a 240 v outlet in your attach garage on the party wall of my duplex?
Call an electrician.
What is manometric head?
it is the pressure difference between inlet and outlet of pump.
When you test the outlet you get no current between power and neutral but you get it between power and ground?
There is an open circuit on neutral. You should have power between hot and neutral, as well as between hot and ground. Note well, however, that you should not pull any power between hot and ground, because ground is not intended to be a current carrying conductor - it is only there as a protective earth ground in the case of fault. You can not easily tell, at the outlet, if neutral and ground is reversed - you need to pull a load and then double check with a clamp on ammeter at the distribution panel.
