* '''Black''' - Hot 110v / 120v ..... (''positive, power'') not grounded, the active wire which is most likely to electrocute a person.  This is the dangerous wire!  * '''Black''' - Hot 110v / 120v ..... (''positive, live wire'') not grounded, the active wire which is most likely to electrocute a person.  This is the dangerous wire!  Electricity flows along the black "live" wire, feeding whatever is required and then returns along the white "neutral" wire to its local transformer. The flow can be interrupted by a switch installed on the black "live" wire for most common household applications.
