Grounding is important, because it protects users of electricity from potentially fatal electrical shocks. This is accomplished through bolting, clamping or other effective mechanical means to provide an effective grounding path to the earth instead of through the user.

What wire discharges excess electricity to the earth?
A ground to earth completes an electrical circuit in some cases. The wire is called the ground or grounding wire, and often has green insulation.
Does grounding speakers to the chassis cause problems with the PCM?
No It wouldn't
Do passive solar heating systems convert sunlight into electricity?
Type your answer here... yes they do convert sunlight into electricity but it requires some more equipments to be added to it so that it becomes an eficient source of electricity .for this purpose a dynamo can also be used and the energy produced is enough for two households so just think about it
How much electricity does Walmart use a year?
Depends a little on what you mean by 'spend'. They produce their own electricity (Disney World) I believe, so the answer would be zero if it were about an electric bill to the utility company.
Is earth hour only lights?
The most important thing is lights. If you turn off your computer, television and anything else that uses electricity would be great!
How does good grounding in your house affect electricity bills?
'Good' grounding, or earthing, has no effect whatsoever on electricity bills. Electricity bills are based on your property's energy consumption. Grounding is simply a safety feature of the electrical system; it draws no energy.
A safety procedure where electricity is channeled directly into the ground?
grounding
What is the definition of grounding as in electricity?
It is where a point in a circuit is at zero voltage.
Why insulators and conductors are important?
For an insulator, it is important because it prevents people from getting an electrical shock from touching a bare wire. For a conductor, it is because they are needed to transfer electricity and the world revolves around electricity. For example, the device you use to see this answer requires electricity to work.
An invention to reduce the effects of static electricity?
A grounding wire or strap.
What are grounding mats used for?
Grounding mats are used when working on electronic components to drain off static electricity. Static electricity develops high voltages (the spark that jumps from your hand to a doorknob in winter is static electricity) and these voltages can damage sensitive electronics.
What are electrolyte plates in a grounding system?
Electrolyte plates in a grounding system are electrically grounded metal plates on which a person stands to discharge static electricity picked up by his body. This is called grounding.
What are some dangerous situations involving static electricity?
Grounding is the only way to handle static electricity. Ground all metallic parts to one another and then take the ground wire to installed grounding electrodes.
What element eliminates static electricity in industry?
Grounding and bonding all non-current carrying metal parts will allow static electricity to go to ground, so that it will not buildup to a dangerous level.
What has the author Ralph Morrison written?

How important is the ground wire for a chandelier?
The grounding of all electrical equipment is very important. So much so that it is an electrical code rule required in any electrical installation.
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.
