Answer / gurdeep rai

neutral is nothing but it is just reverse path for current whereas earthing is different thing it is use to prevent shock,spoiling of appliances.earthing is the must for every element.however neutral wire is also being earthed.

Answer / c.arunkumar

earth is nothing but provides the protection for the human
body and eqipmments at the ime of short ckt
nuetral is always carryin return path for the supply

Answer / sun of the world

neutral point is that point which gives a reply path to current to flow...
but earth point is that point which gives a such path to current from where it can't returns back...
in other words u can say that earth makes waste of harmful current...

Answer / kapil kumar

Earth is a safety point and neutral is a protactive point
for equipment

Answer / sushil sharma

Neutral act as return path of receiving end voltage to control of voltage fluctuation.when current carrarying conductor meeting at a point.at this junction point a point is generated this is neutral point.

Earth-Earth is also used to protect human body to any shock

Answer / lokendra joshi

Neutral:- Neutral is a return path for any electrical ckt
While Earth is Reference point for electrical ckt.

Answer / parvinder

Most interesting answers, with a lot of thought. However,
one needs to consider how the two earthing systems needs to
be designed into a more practical situations. Which of the
two will provide the return current? and in what practical
scenario. For example, 25kV, 50Hz overhead train traction
system close to 750V dc train traction system. The answer
really is in treating the dc system as a battery
arrangement (+ and - arrangement), that is no earth or
neutral points, but the dc output is a rectified output
from an ac source, where the earthing requirements are
placed, based on TT, TN-S, TN-C-S, etc. arrangements at the
substation end where the railway operators interface with
the distribution network operators (electricity
distributers) this where the requirements on the
distinction between neutral and earth are essential). Other
areas are electrolytic processes such as
electroprocessing , electrochemical and other dc
processes, where ac source is converted into a dc source
for processing. How does one differentiate between the
purpose of neutral and earth.

Neutral means clossing path of the circuit. erath used for
human & Equip safety.

TO BASWARAJ

YOUE ANSWER IS VERY INTERSTING. BUT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THAT

COULD U EXPLAIN ANY OTHER WAY?

PLEASE! I AM REALLY INTERSTED ABT THIS QUESTION

Answer / jish

both earth and neutral are only slightly different . both
dont carry any current. the earth is a connection coming
from the earth of the bilding itself while the neutral is
the connection coming from the powerstation . ideally there
should not be much voltage difference between them else it
means your earthing is not gud .
if we remove the earth, the circiut will still work but
there is a chance of us gettin a shock when we connect
anything .
but a neutral is required to complete the circuit .
simple !!!!!!! :-)
