What are the reasons of earthing?
Safety!!!!Although the neutral wire is also connected to ground/earth, it has current flowing through it and can thus easily have 20VAC (sometimes more) on it at the outlet. If this were connected to the metal housing of appliances it could cause a significant electrical shock to the user.The ground/earth wire is never supposed to have current flowing, so it will always have 0V on it at the outlet and can thus be wired to the metal housing of appliances without risking electrical shock to the user.
