@dougweaverart: What is a ground wire? It is what keeps you safe when electricity goes on a side quest! #electricity #dougthebuilder #electrician #construction #tt
My house doesn’t have the grounding wire. It was built before that was required. It was built in 1960s

My cables don’t look like that here in Denmark. My ground wire is covered in a brown cable casing 🙏

I get that this is how electricity is always explained, but I've never understood how alternating current (AC) electricity can have a neutral wire. Doesn't AC flow BOTH directions (flipping direction 60 times every second)? Doesn't that mean that sometimes the electricity is coming in through the "hot" wire and sometimes going out through the "hot" wire, switching 60 times every second? If we used DC current, then I could understand the concept of a "hot" and a "neutral, but with AC I can't seem to reconcile the concepts in my head.

I've heard someone say "All paths of least resistance". I understand the electrons can flow through multiple paths, you being one of them. Is this true?

School science in the 70’s in the uk taught us to wire a plug, the wires were coloured blue, red or brown and green. Blue is left it has an l in it neutral , red or brown goes to the right they have an r in it live or the dangerous one, green goes to earth. 🤪🤪🤪

any update on the pitch drop you made?? i just seen the video & was wondering if it moved at all or not

Technically the “neutral” is the grounded conductor and the “ground” is the grounding conductor (per the NEC). Both should be bonded at either the distribution transformer or the first disconnect, allowing fault current to travel back to the transformer pulling more than enough current to trip the breaker. Also this all runs on alternating current (AC). Fun lesson though! 😁👍

I have never heard this. Thanks for explaining it. I mean, it’s not like I really get it and probably won’t remember it all but now I have had an introduction to wiring. Knowledge builds on knowledge!

Could you explain why we have "hot" ans neutral, when it's AC which it means that it has a frequency and I understood that they switch + ans -

The irony of you making this pretty recently and I just so happened to get shocked for the first time in a long time just yesterday

Thank you for this explanation, very helpful. I am curious how electricity in like cars and stuff work to prevent this since they don't attach to the ground?

Is this the etymology of hotwiring a car? I've always assumed it was "hot" because the car was now stolen goods.

Fun fact, we are very conductive cause we're very salty and getting shocked makes me very salty 🤣
