what will happen if instead of neutral we use earth wire as
return conductor?if we can use ,then why we are not using in
our day to day appliances?please justify the answer

Answer Posted / shamseer m

If connects earth wire instead of neutral wire the equipment will work no doubts, and the voltage given to the equipment (example, a bulb) is same as the voltage given by the neutral wire. even though why we couldn't connects so ???

It is because if we connects earth wire instead of neutral wire the phase(live) voltage will come to the next point of the equipment (in the point where earth wire is connected) via equipment, ie if we use a tester both side of the equipment shows lighted tester.

It can cause electrical shock and damages other equipments by other means.
