Answer / vikas jauhari
I am fully agree with Mr. RD Dadhich....
This is well explained in BS1363...
so don't forget there is no connection with cross sectional
area for low resistive path

Answer / rajesh.v
1.it will
provide high
conductivity...
2.it is very
useful for
identify the
sequence
terminal as
earth, phase,
neutral...
3.the earth
point are give
most support to
hold with
socket...

Answer / neha
as we know that the area of cross section is inversely proportional to the area or R=rho(l/a)....so to decrease the resistance there is a large hole of earth in plug point as it is connected to zero potential (earth) for safety purpose

Answer / n.d.mahesh
usually all the metal body equipments have the earth for
example washing machine, refrigerator ,oven.we cannot see
the earth pin in the t.v,this is for the protection that is
the metals are good conduactors and when human intend to
touch then it causes shock,if there is any leakage in the
circuit.so to prevent this we are using the earth.

Answer / rajesh mishra
as we know R is pro to row*L/a...if "a" is larger then r is
small..so the resist is small and it easily pass the s.c
current through it......thts why the earth hole size is
biggest in plug pt.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 1 Yes | 2 No |
R = row L/A.......(1)
r is increase so the a is decrease so the depend to this
equation 1
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 0 Yes | 2 No |
Earth is a big conductor if we are talking about the
conductivity so the theory is the bigger the size the
smaller the resistance so the earth itself serve as a
conducting path of the resistance to secure the lives and
safety of the properties if in case there is incidental and
transient fault of the power systems.
