I have a problem understanding the neutral in 110 circuits. I hahve been told that the neutral carries the unbalanced load back to ground.
Is this right? Is there some easy way to get a good understanding of "neutral". I usually don't have much problem understanding stuff, but I have yet to get a good feel for what it does. I do know that it will shock you. But it is tied into ground in the main panel. DOn't make since.
I hope someone can explain so that I can get a good understanding of it instead of just trying to remember when and where to hook it. I don't like doing stuff just because someone tells me to.
