  2. The neutral is a current-carrying conductor in normal operation. The ground wires should only carry fault current.

  5. They are synchronized but in opposite phase, because they are connected in opposite direction relative to neutral. Whatever you call it, it is mathematically equivalent to 2-phase 180° apart.

  6. Energy is carried by the electromagnetic field which is generated by moving charge in the conductors. The free electrons don’t move far in a half cycle — about .06 mm average.
