When the live and neutral wires melt and come in contact with each other , it is said that both ,the live and neutral , wires carry current to the appliance ,Why? If the live is connected to the neutral ,the current should pass directly through the neutral wire and never reach the appliance ?

To which wire is the metallic case of an electric appliance connected? Give the reason.

Q. If two points are at different potentials , then the current will flow till the time both the points reach the same potential( without a battery).
Now the question is that - If we connect the switch in the neutral wire, when the switch is off, the appliance is connected to the higher potential through the live wire ( which was not disconnected), the current flows through the live wire to the appliance . If we now touch the appliance, we will get shock because the appliance was at higher potential and our body was at a lower potential, thus current moved Through our body. But even if we wear rubber shoes ( or some insulation between our body and earth is there) , we should get shock because the only change that happens now is that the current doesn't reach ground. But it will flow TO our body (lower potential ) from the live wire (higher potential) even if there is not a return path for current ( not a complete circuit). Why is this not true ?

Q. Fill in the following blanks with suitable words:

(a) A fuse should always be places in the ........... wire of a mains circuit.
