Why there is a current in neutral line

Answer Posted / sanjana singh

The neutral wire is connected to ground at the distribution box. When current flows in the circuit, there actually is a voltage drop across the neutral wire, but the wire's resistance is so small that the voltage drop is also very small. So, at the device that's drawing the current, the voltage on the neutral wire is small but not zero. At the distribution box, the voltage is zero.
