What is the main difference between a live wire and a neutral wire?
The live wire carries the current back to the source, while the neutral wire provides insulation.
The live wire is at a high voltage, while the neutral wire is at a low voltage (or close to zero).
The live wire is thinner, while the neutral wire is thicker.
The live wire is always connected to the earth.
