No, you cannot get shocked by a neutral wire under normal circumstances because it carries the return current and is at a similar voltage level as the ground.

If you touch both neutral and live wire together do you get shocked?

The neutral is supposed to be grounded on all installations, single phase and three phase, according to the electrical code so no you will not get a shock if you touch the neutral wire. If the neutral wire is not grounded you might in some circumstances get a little tickle of voltage.


Why does ac power have a hot wire and neutral wire?

The hot wire carries current from the source to the electrical device, while the neutral wire carries current back to the source. This completes the circuit and allows electrical devices to function properly. The distinction between the two ensures proper functioning and safety in the electrical system.


Metaphor simile ect for shocked?

How can I test a neutral wire to ensure it is functioning properly?

To test a neutral wire, use a multimeter set to measure voltage. Place one probe on the neutral wire and the other on a ground wire or metal box. A properly functioning neutral wire should show a voltage reading close to zero. If the reading is significantly higher, there may be an issue with the neutral wire.
