What colour wires are live and ground in 96 mondeo?
Normally Red, Black, or Orange are hot and Green, or Possibly Brown are ground. To be sure, use a voltmeter, set for 12 volts D.C. and check each wire for current. Once you have isolated the wires carrying voltage. then switch to OHMS and check the other wires. Wires that are grounded will show a reading in OHMS.
Can there be two hot wires in the same switch box?
No, this would be a direct short circuit and trip the over current device. If you are classing the white wires as neutral be careful as not all wires that are white are neutrals. In some cases the white wires are current carrying. A conscientious electrician identifies these type of wires with a strip of black tape identifying the conductor as "hot". If a home owner has done the wiring and not knowing the code regulations, the white wires may not have been identified.
How is a three pin plug assembled in production?
black = HOT White = Neutral (current carrying) Green = Ground
Is the ground wire safe to be the hotwire?
No. A ground wire is a non-current carrying conductor and cannot be used for hot or neutral.
Student A says that a gfci provides protection when a current-carrying develops between a hot wire and the neutral B says?
Sorry but What?
Why dont phase and neutral exchange?
Phase wires are "hot" wires and are the current-carrying conductors. (These are the wires that will shock you if you touch them.). The neutral wire is basically there to carry the electricity back to the source. It is not normally considered current-carrying. If you switch these two wires, you might energize the metal of equipment, causing a dangerous shock hazard.
How many hot wires does a 1990 Honda prelude have?
There is a Positive (HOT) & Negative (Ground) battery cable. There are also lots of other HOT wires that are carrying current throughout the vehicle. What exactly are you referring too? hundereds of wires get a book at advance or napa for your car
Do toasters work because of the heating effect of an electric current?
Yes. resistance in wires within the toaster causes those wires to become very hot.
In an electromagnet the wires get hot due to the flow of what?
Electric current
Why do wires turn hot in a circut?
The current passing through them - since all wires have resistance.
What is the difference between one current carrying conductor in a conduit and a hot and switch leg in a conduit?
In the first part of the question there will be only one wire in the conduit, in the second part of the question there will be two wires in the conduit.
Why does a metallic piece become hot when it is surrounded by a coil carrying high frequency alternating current?
This is because of the eddy curents produced due to the changing electric and magnetic fields.

What property causes wires and coils to become hot when electricity flows through them?
Yes, so electricity simply flow through them.Most Wires and Coils have resistance. This resistance opposes the flow of Current. This opposition creates Heat.
