We know that, in case if there is a faulty insulation,or
sc, the current is bypassed to earth through the earth wire
that has low resistance.Actually, what will happen to that
current that flows through gnd?In that case,if we come in
contact with that faulty appliance, wont that current flow
through us as we form a closed path by standing in gnd?Is
grounding a safety measure?
Answer Posted / sewagudde
Reason you dont get a shock is that the earth loop path
provides a much lower resistance than the body and
electricity always chooses the path of least resistance.
