The neutral wire carries current back to the source in a circuit, while the ground or earth wire is used as a safety measure to protect against electric shock. The neutral wire is a current-carrying conductor under normal operation, whereas the ground wire carries no current except during fault conditions.

What is the difference between neutral and ground in electrical engineering?

"ground" and "earth" are indeed the same thing, described in different geographical locations. On the other hand, there is another term called "common", which may or may not be linked with the words "ground" and / or "earth". A "common" is a point in an electrical circuit to which many components are connected. It may be the negative side of a power supply or it may be the positive side of a power supply. The "common" may or may not be directly connected to "ground" or "earth". Another term that is used is "chassis", again, sometimes linked to the word "ground" or "earth" and may be different from the direct "earth" or "ground". Similarly, there can be "analogue ground" and "digital ground" in circuits and that can lead to "earth loops" which are undesirable, particularly in small signal systems, where they can lead to noise. Our "Earth" is an enormous sink for electrons, as well as being a reasonably good conductor due to the moisture in the earth. So, earth or ground connections are usually made to save on copper while completing a circuit back to the power generation supply.
