In every way, the 2012 French Open women's singles final appeared to be a mismatch. Maria Sharapova, the winner of multiple grand slams, towered over Sara Errani, who was in her first grand slam final, in both size and stage presence. As the two 25-year-olds met at the net for their pre-match photographs, Errani barely cleared Sharapovaâs shoulder.
The term common is applied to the conductor that is used in any configuration of the circuit. It is easy to confuse common with the neutral wire, and in many cases this is true. A ceiling fan often has separate black and blue wires for the fan and light with the white wire, or neutral, being common to both.
These conductors are designated as follows: 1  Hot: The black wire is the hot wire, which provides a 120 VAC current source. 2  Neutral: The white wire is called the neutral wire. It provides the return path for the current provided by the hot wire. 3  Ground: The bare wire is called the ground wire. Like the neutral wire, the ground wire is also connected to an earth ground. However, the neutral and ground wires serve two distinct purposes. The neutral wire forms a part of the live circuit along with the hot wire.
