In Plug used in house,Why Earth of the plug more thicker & deeper?..

Answer / arul

Thicker:in conducter area is high conductor resistense is
low so earth pin resistense less than two two pin.
deeper:first equipment will earthed next get the power
supply so earth pin is deeper.

appliance body .because earth wire connected to the
appliance body.
