The neutral is usually connected to earth, whether on the electicity company, or inside the wall at our homes.
We therefore treat the neutral as ground (0V reference).
Is it correct to say that:
- When the current is possitive - the upper half of the sine wave - then electrons move from neutral to phase.
- when current is negative - lower half of sine wave - electrons move from phase to neutral.
When the neutral is connected to earth, then how come it can source electrons during the half sine wave?
