What is the function of the 3 wires in a socket.?

One wire usually connected to the right side of us in the socket is the 'live' or 'phase' or 'hot'. The colour of this will be usually RED. The other one usually Black in colour will be connected to the left side to us and named as neutral. The third wire green in colour will be the earth wire which will be at the top of the socket. This is the safe guarding connection. If anything goes wrong especially in washing machine, wet grinder etc giving shock then immediately fuse would get blown and thus the motor as well as human life would be saved.


Do you attach the red wire to the brown and black to the blue for a light?

No, typically red wires are connected to hot/live wires and black wires are connected to neutral wires. Blue wires are often used for connecting to neutral wires as well. Remember to always follow the wiring instructions provided with your specific light fixture.


Why do different wires have different thicknesses?

What are the necessary components for connecting a three wire plug to an electrical appliance?

To connect a three-wire plug to an electrical appliance, you will need to have the plug itself, the appliance, and a screwdriver. The three wires in the plug are typically color-coded as green for ground, white for neutral, and black for hot. You will need to match these wires to the corresponding terminals in the appliance, typically labeled as GND for ground, N for neutral, and L for hot. Use the screwdriver to secure the wires in place by tightening the screws on the terminals. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety precautions when connecting the plug to the appliance.

Why would you color code a Thyristor?

The 3 wires on a Thyristor are colour coded in order not to connect the wrong wire to the incorrect part of the circuit. The three wires are called: anode (OV), cathode (output) and gate (input signal). Sorry I don't know the colours but I hope this helps.
