Best Answer

White is neutral in home wiring. Red is sometimes used in 3-way switches and dimmer applications, so it is likely red is hot in your application if it pertains to home wiring. The term positive would just apply to DC wiring since AC goes positive and negative. For example your car battery has Red as Positive and Black as Negative.

If you are talking about a power cord the solid black is the hot or phase conductor and the black with a white stripe is the neutral or grounded conductor.

When should a street be double stripe vs single stripe?

This has nothing to do with Tigers, or Army Chevrons. The traffic laws are as follows- Double Solid stripe- No Passing from Lane to Lane. Single broken stripe on one side- passing permitted on side that has broken stripe. (the other being solid) that is the traffic law regarding single and double pavement stripes in New Jersey. Obviously, there is normally no passing allowed on bridges or tunnels- and a triangular pennant shaped sign indicating ( No Passing) is used in areas where the solid stripe-broken stripe scheme is impractical- as perhaps tunnels and bridges. On deck!


Which wire is hot black with a white stripe or solid black?

The normal practice is for the black (or at least darker) wire to be hot. However, given the consequences of guessing wrong, they should be tested and both wires should be treated as "hot" until you find out differently.

On the break if you make a solid AND a stripe then technically it is still an open table. (meaning you can make any of them in) whichever is made in the second shot as long as it isn't both kinds again then the one you make is what your ball type is.
