What happens if ground wire is not connected?
The appliance will operate normally without the ground wire because it is not a part of the conducting path which supplies electricity to the appliance. In the absence of the ground wire, shock hazard conditions will often not cause the breaker to trip unless the circuit has a ground fault interrupter in it.
What is common ground in a speech?

What color is the load wire?

Can I connect neutral and ground together?
No, the neutral and ground should never be wired together. When you plug in something in the outlet, the neutral will be live, as it closes the circuit. If the ground is wired to the neutral, the ground of the applicance will also be live.
What color is the ground wire?
green
Where does the ground wire go in a light fixture?
Locate the ground wire coming from your home’s electrical box where the light fixture is to be installed. The ground wire will be either green or bare copper wire. If the wire is covered with green insulation you will need to strip 1/2 inch of the green insulation off of the tip of the wire.
What color is the ground wire in a light fixture?
A standard box for a light fixture will have three wires, a white (neutral), black (current), and copper (ground.)
What color wire goes to the black screw on a 3 way switch?
The black screw has the black (common) wire that runs up to the light through the yellow cable. The two grounds are connected together and then to the green ground screw on the switch. To summarize, the black screw gets either the wire from the electrical panel or the wire going to the light.

Make sure to use wire nuts to attach the wires together.
What is the common wire in a 3 way switch?

Can black and red wires go together?
If the red and black wires are connected together already and energized, yes you can do that but you will need a pull chain light or a remote control, if they are not switch controlled.
What is the difference between ground wire and neutral?
It can be stated that Neutral can be grounded, but Ground is not neutral. A Neutral represents a reference point within an electrical distribution system. A Ground represents an electrical path, normally designed to carry fault current when a insulation breakdown occurs within electrical equipment.
How do you wire red white and black lights?
The answer is that the Red Wire is the Hot Wire from the switch itself. You are wiring your fixture into a junction box where buku wires come together.
