black wire is hot wire .And the white is the common or white is ground. Depends on what your talking about in an outlet or car battery. In a outlet the ground wire is green or bare copper. neutral is red and hot is black (I remember it by hot can kill you so black is death) if I am not mistaken. As for a car battery i think it's the opposite red is hot and black is neutral.


How do you attach a 4 wire power cord to electric dryer?

To attach a 4-wire power cord to an electric dryer, first remove the old cord by disconnecting it from the terminal block inside the dryer.

Make sure to turn off power before making any connections and follow proper safety precautions.


How you know if the wires black and white are mixed?

You use a known ground and check them for voltage. You can use an extension cord to reach from a ground to the wires you are testing. You are not putting it in an outlet, just to connect you to a ground.
