what is the difference between earth and neutral?

what is the difference between earth and neutral? ..

Answer / baswaraj

Neutral point is basically a refrence point it may be at
any potential difference. i.e. 5V, 10V, 1000V etc.

Take an example of a system where voltage is fluctuating
between 9,950V to 10,050V. and its external body is at
10.000V, when we take Earth as the refrence point. Now
every calculation will include these parameters, but if
take 10,000V as the refrence point/ neutral of the system
then we can say the fluctuations are between -50 to +50V
only and further calculations will be easier then the
previous case.

Neutral point is a technical term for refrence point
whereas Earth is a typical example .

Answer / prabhu g

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED BOTH SOUNDS SAME. NEUTRAL IS THE
RETURN PATH IN AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. EARTH IS CONSIDERED
TO BE THE COMMON REFERENCE POINT. AND THE NEUTRAL IS ALSO
CONNECTED TO EARTH(GROUND). IN OUR HOME, EVEN IF NEUTRAL IS
CUT, WE COULD USE OUR HOUSEHOLD EQUIPMENTS CONNECTING TO
EARTH. WITHOUT EARTH NOTHING COULD BE DONE, BUT SOMETHING
CAN BE DONE IF THER IS NO NEUTRAL.
