In a 120 volt receptacle, which terminals are designated for the neutral connection?

Gold
Copper
Silver
Bronze

The correct answer is: Silver

The correct connection for the neutral wire in a 120-volt receptacle is designated to the silver terminal. This is a standard practice in electrical wiring, where specific colors are used to identify terminals. In typical 120-volt outlets, the silver terminal is for the neutral conductor, while the brass (gold) terminal is used for the hot conductor. Understanding wire color coding is crucial for safety and functionality. The neutral wire, which carries current away from the device, must be correctly connected to the silver terminal to ensure the electrical circuit operates safely and efficiently. This correct identification helps prevent potential hazards like short circuits and electrical fires that could occur from improper wiring connections.
