The part of the circuit that is tied to a ground rod that is usually 6-8 ft long and is driven in the actual ground outside a building. Most local electrical codes require the ground circuit also be tied to the neutral bar in the electrical service panel. Effectively, you are causing the neutral bar to be grounded electrically to physical earth ground.
A ground circuit can also be on a vehicle. It usually is the car body and chassis used as a return path for electrical currents back to the battery negative post. Some vehicles use a positive ground instead of a negative ground (European vehicles usually).

What is the two types of ground circuit?
1. direct ground circuit 2. virtually ground circuit
What is meant by the ground in an electric circuit?
The ground in an electric circuit is the brown copper wire.
What is the GFCI?
A "GFCI" is a ground fault circuit interrupter. For more information see the link below.
What do ground fault relays do?
Ground fault relays sense ground faults in the circuit and trigger a circuit breaker to trip off
Reverse light fuse keeps blowing out?
Short to ground or overload in the circuit.Short to ground or overload in the circuit.
Where is the ground circuit for brake lights on a Honda civic?
The ground circuit for your Honda Civic brake lights can be found on the rear frame rail. The ground circuit will be on the drivers side frame rail.
The difference between short to a voltage circuit and short to a ground circuit?
A short circuit is an abnormal connection between two nodes intended to be at different voltages. A voltage circuit is caused intentionally for the purpose of voltage sensing. A ground circuit occurs between a phase and the ground.
Does an electric circuit have a beaker?
Electric circuit need a main circuit breaker that can protect the whole circuit from short circuit even in ground fault. It's safer if you use breaker with built in ground protection.
Why is your engine control fuse keep blowing?
There is an overload or short to ground in the circuit.There is an overload or short to ground in the circuit.
What is a ground loop isolator?
Ground loop isolators are used to break the DC circuit path for the audio shield ground circuit. It removes ground loops from the system, which are unwanted.
An open circuit results when a hot wire touches ground?
A short circuit is the term for hot touching ground. This can cause a breaker to trip which will then open the circuit.
In an electric circuit the ground prevents current from flowing in the circuit.?
