What else can I help you with?
If both wires for a ceiling light fixture are black how do you tell which is the live wire and which is neutral?
If both wires are black, the one that connects to your white wire is the one that should have little writing on it. Black to the plain black wire, white to the wire with writing.
How do you wire a wall plug socket?
Wall receptacles are wired in parallel. black to black, white to white, ground to ground.
When at a 2 pole light switch and the wire colors shown are black white and green which is the hot wire and which is the common?
the black wire is the hot wire
Where is the position of black wire in electric socket?
In a household circuit, with a "hot" conductor insulated black and a white neutral, the black wire should connect to the center terminal of the socket. The outside part of the socket usually has a brass screw (for the black wire) and a nickel screw (for the white wire).
Which wire goes on the gold screw the white or black?
In typical American wiring the black wire on an outlet goes to the gold (copper) screw and the white wire goes to the silver screw. The ground wire goes to the green screw.
What Does L1 and L2 Represent Any Specific Wire Colors?
L1 is black or the hot wire and L2 is white or the netural wire
Which wire is hot, white or black?
The black wire is typically hot, while the white wire is neutral.
Is the white or black wire hot?
In a standard electrical wiring setup, the black wire is typically the hot wire, while the white wire is the neutral wire.
How do you connect timer white and black house wire with red black and white wires?
House wire is "line" Black & White house goes to Black & White of Timer; the "load" (e.g. Pond Pump, etc.) is connected to the Red & White. Specifically, put all 3 whites together (nut or terminal); House (source)(line) Black to Timer Black; and "load" Black to Timer Red. The Red wire is the "Timed" (switched) hot wire.
Where does the red wire go, to the white or black wire?
The red wire typically goes to the black wire.
Which wire does the red wire connect to, black or white?

How do you wire the last fixture in a parallel circuit?

Which wire is considered hot, white or black?

What is the red wire and what wire does it go with when there are three wires black red and white?
Red, white, and black are standard for a three-way switch (you have two switches that control the same fixture). You should also have a ground wire (copper, unsheathed). The black and red are negative, while the white is positive. It works pretty simply. When the switch is up, the black and white are linked, creating a circuit. When it is down, the red and white are linked. If both switches agree (both are red/white or both are black/white), then the circuit is completed and power flows.
What is the difference between a black wire and a white wire in electrical wiring?
The difference between a black wire and a white wire in electrical wiring is that the black wire is typically used as the hot wire to carry electrical current, while the white wire is usually used as the neutral wire to complete the circuit and return the current to the power source.
When wiring up a photocell where do the leads get connected?
Black Wire from photocel to hot wire(black) coming in red wire to light fixtures black wire. White wire to neutral wires all light and power source white.
Is the black or white wire hot in electrical wiring?
In electrical wiring, the black wire is typically the hot wire.
