Question

Accepted Answer

Earthing is the process of connecting electrical systems to the ground to prevent electrical shock and protect against electrical faults.

Earthing is also known as grounding.
It involves connecting the electrical system to the earth using conductive materials.
Earthing provides a path for the flow of excess electrical current to the ground.
It helps in preventing electrical shock by diverting the current away from the user.
Earthing also protects electrical equipment and buildings from damage caused by lightning strikes or power surges.
Examples of earthing include grounding electrical outlets, connecting metal parts of appliances to the ground, and installing grounding rods or plates.
Earthing is essential for safety in electrical systems and is a standard practice in electrical installations.
