Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe incorrect statement regarding home wiring is The black wire is the live wire, the red wire is the neutral wire, and the green wire is the earth wire.
- The black wire is typically the live or hot wire, carrying the current from the electrical source to the device/appliance.
- The white wire (not red) is the neutral wire, providing a return path for the current back to the electrical source.
- The green or bare wire is the earth wire (also called the ground wire), which is used for grounding and safety purposes.
- So, the neutral wire is typically white, not red, and the earth wire is usually green or bare.
- The color-coding of wires may vary in different regions, so it's essential to follow local electrical codes and standards when performing wiring work. However, in many places, the color coding mentioned above is widely used for safety and consistency.
