What is the purpose of neutral contactor?
Presumably, you are asking the purpose of a neutral conductor, rather than 'contactor'?A alternating-current supply has two conductors, a lineconductor and a neutral conductor. The line conductor is at system potential (e.g. 230 V in Europe), whereas the neutral conductor is at approximately earth (ground) potential because it is earthed (grounded) at the supply transformer. The neutral conductor acts as the 'return' path to the transformer, carrying the same load current as the line conductor.
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.
Is the neutral conductor of a two wire single phase circuit considered a current carrying conductor?
Sure. In a two-wire circuit, both wires carry equal currents.
What is current carrying capacity of dog conductor?

What is difference between ground and neutral?
A neutral is an active conductor in the circuit. It is grounded at the source but that's for another discussion. The ground exists to ensure the proper operation of over current devices like fuses and breakers in the event of a fault.
What cause current on the neutral line in a three phase?
Current on neutral in a multi phase system is caused by imbalance between the phases. Question: Are you talking about neutral or ground? The two are very different. Although neutral is grounded, it is expected to be a current carrying conductor, so current on neutral is normal, so to speak. Ground, on the other hand is a protective circuit that is not supposed to have any current on it at all.
Why you have two live wires in your 110 plug?
You dont. You have a current carrying conductor (your hot), a grounded conductor (your neutral) and a grounding conductor (your ground). You CAN however be shocked by the hot AND the neutral of a circuit that you turned the breaker off or if the neutral is being shared on another "hot" circuit. This was a very common practice until electrical code outlawed it a few yrs back.
In a current carrying conductor what exist around it?
a magnetic field
Is a neutral considered a current carrying conductor?
No, in a three phase balance load, there should not be any current through Neutral conductor. If it is a 2 wire, single phase system, the Neutral will carry the same current as live conductor if the system has no Earth fault, leak.
Why does the current carrying conductor experiences a force when it is placed in magnetic field state Fleming's left hand rule?
The force on current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field is given by the expression F = B I L sin@ So the force becomes zero when the current carrying conductor is kept parallel to the magnetic field direction and becomes maximum when the current direction is normal to the magnetic field direction. Ok now why does a force exist on the current carrying conductor? As current flows through a conductor magnetic lines are formed aroung the conductor. This magnetic field gets interaction with the external field and so a force comes into the scene.
When is the force experienced by current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field strongest?
The force experienced by a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is strongest when the current and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other, maximizing the force according to the right-hand rule.
Can you have only one current carrying conductor in a conduit?
You can have only one current carrying conductor in a conduit, but that conduit must have a slot to relieve the eddy currents that will be created by the transformer effect created by the conductor. It is better to run the neutral or opposite conductor along with the hot conductor together in the same conduit, or through the same penetration, so as to minimize this effect.
