There is as you say, one "hot" wire, but there is a companion wire called neutral, so there is two terminals (possibly 3 if you include the ground (greenj) wire). Between the two terminals the polarity will indeed alternate at the line frequency rate. In the U.S.A at a typical residence we would have a circuit similar to the drawing.|dw:1422280137976:dw|
