Yes, the neutral white wire is an important component in electrical circuits to complete the circuit and provide a return path for current flow. It is necessary for proper functioning of many electrical devices and fixtures.

Can you connect a white and black wire to a three prong extension cord that does not have one wide blade and if so which side would be white wire?

This will not work. Your neutral blade is gone. You need both for it to work.


How do you install a swag kit with two wires to a light with three wires?

You will first need to determine which wire is the hot wire in the ceiling box. Connect the swag kit's two wires to the hot wire and the neutral wire in the ceiling box, leaving the third wire unconnected. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. You may need to consult a professional electrician if you are unsure about the wiring.


In the US where do the blue red green and white wires on a fan go to when the ceiling has red black bare copper and white wires?

Black to Black - Black from the ceiling is a hot wire and should be switched Red to Blue - Red wire is another hot wire and should also be switched White to White - White from the ceiling is the neutral and should not be switched. Your wall should have two switches, one will control the red wire, one will control the black wire. If you wire your fan as above, one switch will turn the fan on, the other will turn the light of the fan on.


Lamp that has 2 white wires and one green wire which one is the hot wire?

Green wire must be grounded for safety. The two white wires are phase and neutral. You can discover which one is the hot wire by using a mulltimeter. But there is no needing to discover it. About the green wire only an electrician can install it properly. It can be joined to the neutral wire, but it is not advisable for any electrical device. The correct procedure is to connect the ground wire on the recommended manner. Normally lamps do not need to be grounded.


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.
