Our electrical suppply in our home is alternating current(a.c) right? Since a.c current does not a definite charge on any of the two wire, why is it that in our home only the live wire carry electricity while the neutral wire is neutral? If our power supply is a.c, the live and neutral wire can be 'live' since a.c current is alternating. The live wire can be both positive and negative charge and so does the neutral wire. Why is it that only the live wire is charged while the neutral wire is neutral?
