Why doesn't neutral wire give a shock?
That makes sense. But why do we need a neutral wire in the first place if it's not carrying any current back to the source?
Actually, the neutral wire DOES carry current back to the source, just not under normal conditions. It provides a return path for the current and helps balance the load in a circuit. Without a neutral wire, the current would flow unpredictably and cause all sorts of problems.
