Question

A standard electrical outlet has three wires connected to it: the hot, the neutral, and the ground. There is no potential difference between which pair of wires? A standard electrical outlet has three wires connected to it: the hot, the neutral, and the ground. There is no potential difference between which pair of wires? The neutral wire and the ground wire. The hot wire and the neutral wire. The hot wire and the ground wire.

Answer 1

Answer:Option A:The neutral wire and the ground wire.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since live wire carries about 220-240 V of AC.

The second wire is neutral wire and it carries 0 Voltage.

While,the earth wire is grounded and it has no voltage and current.

So,there is no potential difference between neutral and ground wire.

Answer 2

The neutral wire and the ground wire.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hot wire provides the current source. The neutral wire is connected to complete the circuit and provides return path to the current. It is connected to ground Earth. The ground wire is connected to the ground as well but it connects to the metal parts of the appliance and is present to prevent from any shock hazard due to a short circuit. Thus, there would be no potential difference between the neutral and the ground wire.
