why the earth pin is thicker than other pins in a plug? If
it is for reducing resistance, then why the copper earth
wire is not so thick as earth pin of socket?

Answer Posted / mandeepsingh987

Hi..
Actually you are all right, Earth Pin is Thicker as well as
the longest of all among them.
Its the longest because of the reason that every time you
put the plug in the wall mount, if there is current leakage
then it would firstly be earthened and thus saving your life.
