No, live and neutral wires should never be directly wired together. They serve different purposes - live carries current to the appliance, while neutral returns current to the source. Mixing them up can cause electrical hazards and damage to the equipment.
If you are not sure what wires where were it is best to call an electrician. In the US, the black is power, white neutral, and green ground.
The ground wires are twisted together and then connected to the GFCI ground. The black and white wires may also be twisted together and then using a jumper wire connected to the GFCI. Hard to say without seeing exactly how it is wired.
Ground and neutral should only be connected at the main electric panel to prevent parallel neutral currents. If it is a new installation, you must provide four wires (two hots, 1 neutral, & 1 ground) and connect to the four separate (appropriate) places on the dryer. If it is an existing installation and it only has three wires (two hots and a neutral) connect the neutral to both the neutral and ground connection of the dryer (the National Electrical Code allows this exception for older homes). Call a qualified electrician to do any electrical work.
If the phase and neutral wires are shorted together, the voltage in the neutral wire will be the same as the phase voltage. This is because the short circuit effectively bypasses any impedance or resistance in the circuit, causing the potential difference between the phase and neutral wires to be equal.
Neutral and ground wires are usually bonded together at the main service panel of a building, but should never be bonded together at any subpanel or other point downstream. This connection is made to provide a safe path for stray electrical current in case of a fault, and to ensure proper grounding and equipment safety.
Receptacles are not wired in series. Receptacles are actually wired in parallel, what this means is that all phase wires (black) in a receptacle's box should terminate to the brass screws on each device, and all neutral (white) wires in the box should terminate on the silver screws on each device.

No!...unless the charger is wrongly wired so that the live and neutral wires are crossed.
To install a new fixture to replace the one that was removed reconnect the two hot wires together and then reconnect the two neutral wires together. Place the two wires from the new fixture to the corresponding wire colours that you just spliced together. This wiring should be down stream from the light switch. When the switch is turned on the new fixture should light. If this is not the scenario of your question then more information needs to be given.
To properly wire a fan and light switch together in a room, you should connect the hot wires from the fan and light to the hot terminal on the switch, the neutral wires to the neutral terminal, and the ground wires to the ground terminal. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and turn off the power before starting the wiring process.
To properly wire a light fixture with 3 sets of wires, first identify the hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green or bare) wires in each set. Connect the hot wires together, the neutral wires together, and the ground wires together using wire nuts. Then, connect the fixture's hot wire to the group of hot wires, the neutral wire to the group of neutral wires, and the ground wire to the group of ground wires. Finally, secure all connections with electrical tape and install the light fixture according to the manufacturer's instructions.
To safely install a split-wired receptacle in your home, you should first turn off the power to the circuit you will be working on. Then, remove the existing receptacle and separate the tab connecting the two hot terminals. Connect the hot wires to each terminal, ensuring they are securely attached. Connect the neutral wires to the neutral terminal and ground wires to the ground terminal. Finally, carefully insert the receptacle back into the electrical box, secure it in place, and turn the power back on to test the installation.
No, ideally there should be no voltage between the neutral and ground wires in an electrical system.
The ground wires are twisted together and then connected to the GFCI ground. The black and white wires may also be twisted together and then using a jumper wire connected to the GFCI. Hard to say without seeing exactly how it is wired.
Disconnectr the wires from the switch and connect them together
There should be 2 or 3 wires. A hot, a neutral and sometimes a ground.
If the phase and neutral wires are shorted together, the voltage in the neutral wire will be the same as the phase voltage. This is because the short circuit effectively bypasses any impedance or resistance in the circuit, causing the potential difference between the phase and neutral wires to be equal.
