What is the difference between Earthing and Neutral?

Answer Posted / chandru_williams

In simple words we can say that neutral is one which is
used to close a given circuit and earthing is one which is
used to divert short circuit current of fault current to
the ground there by avoiding life loss.

Earthing is at zero potential whereas neutral is never at
zero potential . there would be very light potential.
