What is the difference between earth and neutral..

Answer / tayyab

The neutral is created by the transformer connection i.e Delta to Y this has no voltage level.This is used to complete the current path.
While ground also has 0V but this is used for the safety while high current passes.
Usually these two are short circuited together.
