How do snowflakes stick to the ground?
The ground freezes, then the ground in cold enough for the snowflakes to freeze to it.
How does a ground wire let electrons get to the ground?
The ground wire (equipment grounding conductor) runs back to the panel then to a ground rod. If there is a ground fault in the circuit, the current will flow on the equipment grounding conductor back to ground. Electricity follows the path of least resistance. This is why a ground wire is so important and why NOTHING should ever be hooked to a ground wire. It has the least resistance back to source.
Is an equipment ground required in PVC conduit?
Generally, when using PVC conduit you should also run a ground wire.
What is an equipment ground wire?
An equipment ground wire will discharge the excess voltage due to electrical surges to protect the circuit from damaging.For a full explanation of how this works see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
Which term is given to the practice of interconnecting various pieces of equipment so that they connect to the ground?

How did you get rid of the ground noise in portable devices plugged into the cigarette lighter?
You may need to add a filter. It could also be an indication of a bad alternator or fuel pump or other faulty electrical equipment.
What is the color of the ground terminal in any electrical equipment?
Green is the usual colour that represents ground in electrical equipment.

Yes, unless the tool is specifically designed for use without a ground.
What does ground do on a three prong plug receptacle?
The ground blade on a three blade plug (cap) is to provide a low impedance return to the voltage source. If the portable equipment develops a short in its circuit and goes to ground, it is this blade that will carry the short circuit current back to the supply distribution panel and trip the breaker open to cut off the supply voltage.
What do you place between the ground and a pool filter?
The filter, pool pump, heater and any other piece of equipment should be located upon a cement pad large enough to accommodate all required equipment. the equipment and cement pad should conform to city, county, federal etc. codes.
What is a ground prong on a plug for?
All equipment with a metal exterior or case, like a cooker or refrigerator, has to have an earth or ground wire in the supply, which is a third wire unconnected to either of the two current-carrying wires. The metal case is connected to the earth wire and via that to the metal cases of all other equipment. Therefore all the metal items of equipment are at the same potential on the exterior and users will not receive an electric shock if there is a fault. If a fault occurs and a live wire inside the equipment comes into contact with the metal case, the earth connection allows enough current to flow to operate a fuse or circuit-breaker to cut off the supply, for safety. The earth wire is also connected to the water and gas pipes in each property and often also to a ground rod outside the property, which prevents a buildup of static electricity during thunderstorms. <<>> The ground blade on a three blade plug (cap) is to provide a low impedance return to the voltage source. If the portable equipment develops a short in its circuit and goes to ground, it is this blade that will carry the short circuit current back to the supply distribution panel and trip the breaker open to cut off the supply voltage.
