In neutral the current will flow or not?

Answer Posted / faizal

question is current flow in neutral rit.
so we can start from single phase. there is phase and neutral wire and we are connecting this 2 wire across any load ok.
phase wire carries in coming current and neutral wire carrries outgoing current. but when we touch neutral wire we wont get any electrical shock dats why every one have confusion. the answer is current is always flow through low resistance path. neutral wire potential is always zero and it is connected to earth in substation. so while we touching the neutral wire current has 2 path. one is through our body to earth , second one is through neutral wire . our body has some resistance. so obvoiously current wont flow through the resistance path in this case.
