what is the difference between neutral and earth

Answer Posted / pravesh

the main difference between the earth and neutral is that
the neutral is connected to the circuit and work as the
return path for the circuit , but earth works as for
protection of the appliences , if any leakage current
exists in the circuit earth conductors work at zero
potential and gives low resistence path to the leakage
current
