The wider one is the white wire, neutral.

Never NEVER get fooled by the term "neutral". That is the common mistake that gets a lot of people killed
because
The white side of the circuit can have full voltage potential via feedback from some device on the same or another circuit.
If you run into an electrician who calls the common leg of the circuit "neutral" fire him and get somebody else.

In DC(Direct Voltage ) we've 2 Polarities one ie helpful(+) and the different is detrimental. in AC(alternating modern) we've sine wave, which begins from 0 ranges to one hundred and eighty ranges and to 360 ranges. it varieties crest and trough. Hertz is the unit of Frequency. style of cycles in line with 2d is a frequency.

is it 110volts ? or 220 volts ? this makes a difference. 110v black & white, 220v 2- blacks no white.
