what is the difference between earth and neutral.

Answer Posted / bhawna manral

The Earth wire is a safety protective wire that normally
carries no current.
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.
