What is the difference btwn grounding and earthing?

Answer Posted / sanjay chakraborty

The grounding and earthing is same function made up of
materials that is electrically conductive. A fault current
will flow to 'earth' through the live conductor, provided it
is earthed or ground . This is to prevent a potentially
live conductor from rising above the safe level . All
exposed metal parts of an electrical installation or
electrical appliance must be earthed or ground .
