Is there any other wires colors used for grounded other than gray and white?

In industrial wiring 'three phase' green or bare copper is the norm for a ground. In home wiring 220/110 single phase, bare copper is the ground


You have two white wires and two black wires which one is the ground?

black wire is hot wire .And the white is the common or white is ground. Depends on what your talking about in an outlet or car battery. In a outlet the ground wire is green or bare copper. neutral is red and hot is black (I remember it by hot can kill you so black is death) if I am not mistaken. As for a car battery i think it's the opposite red is hot and black is neutral.


Should you attach the ground wire to the black wires?

No, the ground wire should be attached to the green or bare copper wire. The black wires are typically live or hot wires and should never be connected to the ground wire.


What purpose does the plastic cover and the copper in a wire serve?

The copper is a good conductor of electricity. While the insulating plastic covering of the wire prevents bare wires touching and creating a short, or shocking (electrocuting) a person should the bare wire be touched with bare hands.


HOW DO YOU connect cut wires?

If you are referring to the connection of simple household electrical wires, and there is some slack in them, this is easy! You will need to skin the covering of the the wire with a knife first. The easiest way to do this is to carefully carve a small circle around the covering and then slide it off to expose the bare wire. Do this on both halves of the wire and then put the bare wire side by side and twist it. Now cover the twisted part with ELECTRICAL tape, making sure that NO bare wire is exposed. Wrap extra electrical tape around the spliced area to strengthen the repair. If there isn't any slack in the wires, find a piece of wire of the same gauge and just splice it into the gap on both ends as above. I hope this answers your question. If the wires are carrying a heavy load, replace the wire instead.... See discuss question.

What shorted if the fuel pump isn't turning on and the fuel pump relay isn't getting any power and there are some bare wires?

The fuel relay controls the fuel pump, so where are the bare wires? If the relay isn't getting any power then the fuel pump will never turn on, unless you want to bypass it to check the pump. If the bare wires are going to your fuel pump relay you have your problem... if not, either way, bare wires are a problem.

Why are polymers used o cover electrails wires?

Most polymers are not very good conductors, so using them to cover the bare wires provides some degree of insulation, making it safer to touch the coated wires than it would be to touch the bare wires. It also helps prevent the wires from "shorting out" to each other or to ground.
