What are the two electrical connections that all electrical appliances must have?

One for grounding and the other for voltage
One for power and the other for safety
One connection is live and the other is neutral
One for input and the other for output

The correct answer is: One connection is live and the other is neutral

All electrical appliances require two critical connections to function correctly and safely: one connection is live, and the other is neutral. The live wire carries the current to the appliance, providing the power needed for it to operate. The neutral wire, on the other hand, serves as a return path for the current, completing the circuit. This system is essential for ensuring that the electrical flow is maintained and preventing electrical hazards. The live and neutral connections also help balance the electrical load and ensure that appliances operate efficiently. Proper grounding is important for safety but is not itself one of the two fundamental connections for appliance operation. This critical design ensures that appliances can draw power safely while also allowing excess electricity to be directed into the ground to prevent shock or other hazards.
