Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.
Neutral is the name given to one of the wires in an electricity supply. It is a current-carrying wire but is at or near earth potential.
As an example, in the UK each group of 20-30 houses is supplied from a three-phase transformer, which has three live wires and a neutral that is connected to ground at the transformer. Then each house is fed from one live wire plus the neutral wire, with a 240 v single-phase supply, usually limited to 60 amps for average family houses.
At the house, the voltage between neutral and earth might be zero or up to 2-3 volts depending on the voltage developed by the resistance of the neutral multiplied by the current going along it back to the transformer.
Each house also has an earth connection which carries no current but is connected to the gas and water pipes and to the earth pin on 3-pin power sockets, for safety so that any metal surfaces that could be touched are all at earth potential.
What else can I help you with?
How many ions that have a plus 1 charge will bond with an ion that has a 2 charge?
Two ions with a +1 charge will bond with one ion that has a +2 charge to maintain overall electrical neutrality in the compound.
What particles carries no charge?
Neutrons carry no electrical charge. They are particles found within the nucleus of an atom along with protons, which carry a positive charge, and electrons, which carry a negative charge. The neutrality of neutrons helps to stabilize the nucleus of an atom.
What is the overall charge of ionic compound?
positive
What is the purpose of the salt bridge in an electrochemical cell?
The purpose of the salt bridge in an electrochemical cell is to maintain electrical neutrality by allowing the flow of ions between the two half-cells, preventing the buildup of charge and enabling the continuous flow of electrons in the cell.
What salt bridge do in chemistry?
Functions of salt bridge are:It completes the circuit.It maintains electroneutrality of the solutions.Reactions can be stopped at any stage by removing the salt bridge.
How does the principle of charge neutrality apply in the context of electrical circuits?
In electrical circuits, the principle of charge neutrality states that the total amount of positive charge must equal the total amount of negative charge. This principle ensures that the circuit remains balanced and that current can flow smoothly without any disruptions.
What do all atoms of the same elements have the same number of?
Protons and thus electrons too in order to maintain electrical neutrality.
When protons increase what happen to shells electrons?
In order to maintain, electrical neutrality, the number of electrons will also increase as the number of protons increases.
How you use neutrality in a sentence?
neutrality
What is armed neutrality?
Armed neutrality means not a friend or enemy. Example: he agreed to armed neutrality.
The Armed Neutrality League was started by?
it was armed and it was neutrality
How does a chemical compound achieve electrical neutrality?
A compound achieves electrical neutrality when it is formed by the sharing of electrons, or the transfer of electrons. In either case, the atoms of the elements become electrically stable when they undergo chemical bonding by achieving a noble gas electron configuration (also commonly known as an octet, which is not accurate for hydrogen, lithium, or beryllium). Therefore the compound produced by this chemical bonding is also electrically neutral.
Does altering the number of protons in the nucleus change the number of electrons?
Only if electrical neutrality is required. A sodium cation, for example, has the same number of electrons as a neon atom.
Which has the same number of which type of subatomic particle?
All elements have the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons to maintain electrical / charge neutrality
The policy of taking neither side in a conflict?
Neutrality
When was Neutrality Arch created?
Neutrality Arch was created in 1998.
What has the author Alexander Fuehr written?
Alexander Fuehr has written: 'The neutrality of Belgium' -- subject(s): Neutrality 'The neutrality of Belgium'
