earth wire will be connected to the part of appliance body at such a place which is in contact with earth (ground), so as to pass on the voltage into ground to make a big resistance to blow the fuse system behind, and to safe guard the user or human/animal from electric shock, if there is any leakage of current from appliance.

The earth wire should be connected to the outside case that comes in contact with people. That means that if live parts inside the device become connected to the case in a fault condition, enough current will flow to blow the fuse, instead of becoming dangerous to the users.

Does conversion of 220 to 110 volt make electricity bill higher?
No, you are billed on the amount of energy used. All your appliances woud need to be replaced. But if the supply was changed to half the voltage, all the wiring would need to be replaced with thicker wiring, to take double the current.
Do all electrical services need to be grounded?
Electric circuits need an earth wire for safety. The earth or ground wire connects the external surfaces of all appliances together, and to the gas and water pipes, and to ground. The only exception is for low-power doubled insulated portable devices like table-lamps or hair dryers.
Should you buy kitchen appliances with low watts or high watts in UK?
That depends on the appliance and what you're trying to accomplish. Low watts mean that the appliance doesn't use much energy. Higher wattage appliances may be able to complete a task faster or operating on a larger mass. Smaller wattage appliances may be all you need if you're just preparing for a smaller group or if you aren't in a hurry. +++ The overall power consumption will be the same to perform the same task.

Why are power systems earthed or grounded?
Earthing is an important safety feature and most electrical appliances have a third earth wire separate from the two current-carrying wires, the live and neutral. The earth wire is used to connect all the outer metal parts of all appliances to one common point which is also connected to the gas and water pipes and to an earth rod. That means that users will not receive a shock by touching different appliances, and it also prevents the build up of a static electric charge on equipment cases.
