what is the diff.between neutral and earth?..

Answer / karan rana

The neutral is the normal "return" wire: in systems where
the load is supplied from only one hot (or "live") wire, the
neutral completes the circuit and carries current back from
the load to the power station.

The ground or "earth" wire is a circuit's safety protective
wire that normally carries no current
