That depends on the country, and the type of circuit. In the US, on 120 volt circuits, the ground wire is usually a bare, uncolored wire or a green wire that is attached to a green terminal screw. DC circuits have a red positive, black negative, no designated ground. In other places, there are other voltages, other codes, and colors will vary.

How TO wire a 3 way switch?
Each 3 way switch has 2 sets of contacts connected internally to a common pole (marked COMMON). Inside the switch are a set of normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contacts. Electrical normally closed contacts pass power unlike plumbing in which a normally closed valve blocks air or fluid flow.
How many terminal does an intermediate way lighting switch have?
An intermediate or 4 way light switch has 4 terminals + 1 ground terminal.
How does emergency light switch work?
An emergency light switch uses a relay. A relay has an 5 terminals. The firs two terminals are connected to a flowing current (current flows when there is a normal electricity) The next 3 terminals are the common, the normally on, and normally off. One of the battery terminal is connected to the common, and the other one terminal of the battery is connected to one terminal of the light bulb(which has two terminals) then the other terminal of the light bulb is connected to the normally on terminal of the relay. When current flows to the first two mentioned terminals of the relay, the circuit of the battery and light is cut off or not connected. But when the current is off, this will switch on the normally-on terminal thus current will flow from the battery to the light bulb, that will shed light. ;) on an emergency situation. note: The normally off is not use. And may be use for some purpose.
How do you install a new ventilation fan on a second light switch using the power from the existing light switch?
you probably can't, you need a neutral and a live wire to make a fan work. switches normally only have live wires.
How do you connect an ON-OFF switch to control the light?
To control a light with a switch, the switch has to be connected in series with the light fixture.
Why is it important to have a ground wire on a light switch, and what are the potential risks or issues that may arise if a light switch is installed without a ground wire?
Having a ground wire on a light switch is important for safety reasons. The ground wire helps to prevent electrical shocks and fires by providing a path for excess electricity to safely flow into the ground. Without a ground wire, there is a higher risk of electrical malfunctions, shocks, and potential fires if a light switch is installed without one.
How do I wire a light switch to a light?
To wire a light switch to a light, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the black wire from the switch to the black wire from the light. Connect the white wire from the switch to the white wire from the light. Finally, connect the ground wire from the switch to the ground wire from the light. Secure all connections with wire nuts and cover with electrical tape. Turn the power back on and test the switch to ensure it is working properly.

Why would fuel cutout light on dash light and cutout switch not tripped and car will not start?
is the cutoff switch a normally open or normally closed switch ? If it a normally closed switch as it should be then the switch will need to activate with the ignition in order to supply fuel. There could be a problem with the fuel cutoff relay or a fuse. Also if you are using a non factory key then this might also happen.
What color is bad ground turkey?
If ground turkey is gray or light blue in color, it is bad ground turkey. Do not eat it and immediately dispose of it.
How do you wire up a light switch?
To wire up a light switch, you need to turn off the power, remove the old switch, connect the wires to the new switch (usually black to black, white to white, and ground to ground), and then secure the switch in place. Finally, turn the power back on to test the switch.
Where is the location of the reverse light switch on a year 2002 Corsa?
this is normally on the gearbox
How can you separate the color of visible light?
This is normally done by passing the light through a prism.
How can I wire a bathroom fan and light to operate on the same switch?
To wire a bathroom fan and light to operate on the same switch, you will need to connect the hot wires from both the fan and light to the hot wire coming from the switch. Then, connect the neutral wires from both the fan and light to the neutral wire coming from the switch. Finally, connect the ground wires from both the fan and light to the ground wire coming from the switch. This will allow you to control both the fan and light with a single switch.
How can you make a light bulb go off when a door is opened?
Use a normally closed (NC) contact switch rather than a normally open (NO) momentary contact switch.
58 Buick dome light diagram?
I cannot provide a diagram, but it is simple. Power goes to the light, and the ground wire is use as an interupter on the door switch. The switch breaks the ground connection when the door is shut. So you should have power at the dome light if you just ground the circuit.
What is wrong if the brake light is constantly on in a 1992 crown Victoria?
Normally this is an indication of a defective brake light switch.
