AI Thread Summary
In home wiring, there is typically 120VAC between hot and neutral, as well as between hot and ground. However, there is no voltage between neutral and ground because they are bonded together at the service entrance, allowing current to flow from hot to neutral. Current can also flow from hot to ground since ground and neutral are interconnected. The discussion highlights that while current is primarily considered to flow from hot to neutral, it can also flow in both directions in an AC system. Understanding these connections is crucial for safe electrical practices.

There is supposed to be 120VAC between hot and neutral as well as between hot and ground. Why is there no voltage between neutral and ground though? Why does current only flow from hot to neutral and not neutral to hot? Is neutral grounded?

What makes you think current does not flow from neutral to hot? It IS AC remember. Current can flow between hot and ground because ground and neutral are tied together at the service entrance. Do a search, this sort of thing has been discussed MANY times on this forum.
 
...but yes, the neutral and ground are connected at the panel.
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
