The NM stands for Non-Metallic, and the B is the temperature rating of the wire which is 90 degrees C or 194 degrees F. The common name for NMB wire is Romex.
Most local codes require that when extending or adding circuits, the circuit must be brought up to national code standards. This would necessitate that if you have a 2 wire circuit and are adding to it, that you rewire the entire circuit to 3 wires. However, in actual practice, it is common to see 3 wire nmb connected to 2 wire nmb without full re-wiring. It is important to note that when this happens, the ground wire in the 3 wire cable serves no purpose. You end up with what looks like a 3 wire grounding configuration at a receptacle or other outlet when in actuality you have no equipment ground. This allows a hazard to exist that no longer conforms to current code, and if someone were to be injured you may be held liable.
The white wire is typically neutral, the black wire is usually hot or live, the red wire may be a secondary live wire or used for a separate function, and the bare wire is typically the ground wire for safety purposes in an electrical circuit.
For a typical 12-2 wire, the black wire is the "hot" wire that connects to the breaker, the white wire is the neutral wire that connects to the neutral bus bar, and the bare copper wire is the ground wire that connects to the ground bus bar in the circuit panel.
In electrical wiring, the live or "hot" wire is typically brown or red, the neutral wire is typically blue or black, and the ground wire is yellow or green. So, in this case, the brown wire is likely the hot wire, the blue wire is the neutral wire, and the yellow green wire is the ground wire.
it is the earth wire
Yes. Can be white or yellow or orange. Depends on gauge. Some older wire is also black.
