An electrical circuit forms a loop. The "live" or hot wire supplies the voltage, which is returned on the neutral. If the hot wire and neutral wire were connected together without a load between them, the circuit would be short out and trip the circuit's protection device.

Can a live and earth wire be joined together in a light switch?
Physically yes, but to no avail. The breaker will trip instantaneously as a short circuit will have been introduced into the circuit with this action. In all wiring the live must never be connected directly to earth. The only place where the neutral and earth are connected together is at the distribution panel where the utility's supply neutral joins the system earth on the distribution panel's neutral bus bar.
