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 '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
