Answer / karan rana
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.
The ground or "earth" wire is a circuit's safety protective
wire that normally carries no current

Neutral - Neutral is the star point of a 3 phase
transformer with star connection of secondary. This star
point will have zero potential under balanced load
condition. This star point may or may not be connected to
earth depending on requirements of power system.
Earthing - Earthing is ground potential (ZERO) connected to
mother earth via earthing pit.
