Answer 1

Honestly if you are asking questions about hot/neutral wires in a house, you should be careful and maybe hire an electrician. White is usually neutral and black is usually hot, but you should know to measure them if there's any question and not assume they are corrwct

Answer 2

Bk hot, wt neutral, copper ground

Answer 3

Black=Hot/Line. White=Neutral. Copper=Ground

Answer 4

So the white is neutral?  

Answer 5

Yes usually the white wire is the neutral wire. Usually but I would get a electric meter and check it before hand. In switch boxes the neutral wires are all twisted together with wire nuts.

As an electrician who makes a lot of money from homeowner mistakes. white is neutral but if you have to ask that maybe hire a guy to install it.
