Question { 7444 }
What is the difference of grounding and earthing?
Answer
Hi all, I think i found the problem solved out myself. If we
think easily, there is no difference in between grounding
and earthing but lingual difference and that in US, they
refer ground or grounding whether that is in UK - earthing
or earth.
But there is a subtle difference existed i think, that is
ground is considered as the infinite source or sink of
electric charge where earth is taken mostly for fulfilling
this purpose as a reference.
So, all earthing is grounding but all grounding may not be
earthing as well.
Just think what is the ground point in an aircraft? That's
why, there exists also signal ground, earth ground, chassis
ground etc.
