how to justify?  just stick your fingers into an electrical outlet maybe :)

But our teacher told that it is neutral, though I am not sure. Anyway, thanks a lot. Plz post the reason if u get so.

amistre64 · Answer

without having an expansive knowledge base in physics, that was just my best guess. ... in other words, im prone to error ;)

I am also, I think. Anyway, can u do me a favour? I have uploaded an essay on "Fashion" on scribd. Will u read it and ask others to do so?

Wire is electrically neutral. If you want to get charge from wire, you must use a tension. If you will touch the wire alone (which is not connected to the voltage source) you wont feel the charge. Condenser can carry charge.

I have answered this question of yours in the Physics section...
Pls go there and see the answer/explanation why the wire is electrically neutral...
