The colour red designates that the wire is used as a live wire. The neutral wire is identified as white in colour.
The colour of the neutral wire in Australia is blue with marking N.
You would find a live electric wire, with a neutral and usually also an earth wire, in any place where electricity is used. The wires are colour coded differently in different areas but in Europe live is brown, neutral is blue and earth is green/yellow.

No, the colour white is used to identify the neutral in electrical distribution systems.
In North America the white neutral wire is never switched. This is because a split single phase secondary system is used. Opening a neutral could put two branch circuit loads in series with each other.
The same rules apply to the whole of Europe. "Brown is live" , "Blue is neutral" and "Green/Yellow is Earth".
The live wire is brown in coulor while the earth wireis green and yellow in color and neutral wire is blue in colour. Uses of these three wire: Live wire:It's connected with fuse.It carries a voltage which drives electric current through the electrical appliances. Earth wire:It is a safety device and protect us from electric shock. Neutral wire:It offers a return path by electric current.
Not only in BC but in all of North America, the colour for a neutral wire is white.
All depends on what country you are in, wiring standards and cable type. Industrial cable in the UK is. :- Red = Live Black = Neutral Copper wire = earth. (add Green/Yellow striped sleeve at junctions.) Domestic is:- Brown = Live Blue = neutral Green/yellow stripe = Earth Europe Black = Live Blue = Neutral Brown = Earth
The three wires in a socket are typically live, neutral, and grounding wires. The live wire delivers electrical current to the appliance, the neutral wire completes the circuit and carries the current back to the power source, and the grounding wire provides a path for electricity to safely dissipate in the event of a fault or surge.
The color of a wire does not necessarily determine if it is live or not. It is always best to use a voltage tester to check if a wire is live before working on it, regardless of its color. Remember to always follow proper safety precautions when dealing with electrical work.
