What would cause 5 volts to be sensed at water supply pipe?
The water pipe is not properly grounded AND there is a ground fault or neutral imbalance in the house. Alternatively, there could be a neutral problem. In an ideally balanced house, the current on one hot leg balances the current on the other. This means that there is no current on neutral. In practice, there is some imbalance, and that common mode current does flow on neutral. If a circuit has a ground fault, the current return for that circuit is on ground, instead of neutral. That is wrong, and must be corrected. However - neutral and ground ARE connected together at the distribution panel. They are also connected at the street, so imbalance current could flow through ground instead of neutral. How much voltage is dependent on how much impedance. If there is a voltage at the house ground, and no ground fault or major imbalance, it calls into question the adequacy of the ground path, however, it is also possible that neutral is open, causing the imbalance current to flow through ground alone.
Why does a ground wire transfer a dangerous excess charge to the ground?
it carries off leaked current to ground in order to prevent that current from going thru you to ground, which can ruin your entire day.

What happens if you wire a ground and neutral wire together in an outlet box?
If there is a GFCI in the circuit it will stop working correctly. They compare ground current to neutral current to detect a fault. It makes ground current equal to neutral current which is a fault condition.
What does the word ground water mean?
ground water means water that is in a ground
What is the percentage of ground water available?
58% of water is available in a current state.
Why current and voltage are not equal?
Current means flow of electrons Whereas the difference between two points is the voltage difference. Example: when you hold a filled jug of water at a certain height, it is the voltage. Because there is some difference of water at you end and the ground. But when you start pouring the water from the jug, water will fall on the ground which can be said a current.
What is the difference between a whirlpool and sinkhole?
A whirlpool is a dynamic current in water, a sinkhole is a hole in the ground.
What does an electric current continually seek a pathway to?
An electrical current continually seeks a pathway to ground.

Is water table and ground water the same?
Similar, the water table is where we find ground water, ground water is simply water in the ground
What is water that soaks into the ground called?
The water that soaks in ground called as ground water .
What is a recipe from the ancestors of the current Mexicans?
The recipe for tortillas is maize (ground corn) and water as it has been handed down for generations.
Difference between ground and neutral?
As i know,neutral is the return path of current & ground is for any leakage current
What Is Water soaks into the ground called?
The water that soaks in ground called as ground water .
