why earth hole size is biggest in plug point?

Answer Posted / prathap

Earth point is long and big because

1,we know if the cross section area increase resistance decreases.To decreases the resistance ,dia increased.And the length is to conduct first before power supply inserts
so when short circuit occurred the short circuit current will conduct earth point first,and flows through it because resistance is low
