Groundwater does not have a typical flowing current like surface water in rivers or streams. Instead, it flows very slowly through the pore spaces in soil and rock layers, following the gradient of the water table. This movement is typically measured in feet per day or even per year.
What else can I help you with?
What would cause 5 volts to be sensed at water supply pipe?
The water pipe is not properly grounded AND there is a ground fault or neutral imbalance in the house. Alternatively, there could be a neutral problem. In an ideally balanced house, the current on one hot leg balances the current on the other. This means that there is no current on neutral. In practice, there is some imbalance, and that common mode current does flow on neutral. If a circuit has a ground fault, the current return for that circuit is on ground, instead of neutral. That is wrong, and must be corrected. However - neutral and ground ARE connected together at the distribution panel. They are also connected at the street, so imbalance current could flow through ground instead of neutral. How much voltage is dependent on how much impedance. If there is a voltage at the house ground, and no ground fault or major imbalance, it calls into question the adequacy of the ground path, however, it is also possible that neutral is open, causing the imbalance current to flow through ground alone.
Why does ground wire transfer a dangerous excess charge to the ground?
it carries off leaked current to ground in order to prevent that current from going thru you to ground, which can ruin your entire day.
What does the word ground water mean?
ground water means water that is in a ground
In an electric circuit the ground prevents current?
false
What is meant by ground fault?
The ground ('earth'), because of its mass, is a reasonably-good conductor and is used as a 'reference' for a distribution transformer's neutral terminal. A ground fault ('earth fault') occurs when the line conductor from the distribution transformer makes accidental contact directly with the ground ('earth'). The resulting low-resistance earth path back to the transformer's neutral is such that the resulting ground-fault current('earth-fault current') will operate the transformer's overcurrent protection device (e.g. fuse).
Why current and voltage are not equal?
Current means flow of electrons Whereas the difference between two points is the voltage difference. Example: when you hold a filled jug of water at a certain height, it is the voltage. Because there is some difference of water at you end and the ground. But when you start pouring the water from the jug, water will fall on the ground which can be said a current.
What does an electric current continually seek a pathway to?
An electrical current continually seeks a pathway to ground.
What is water that soaks into the ground called?
The water that soaks in ground called as ground water .
What is a recipe from the ancestors of the current Mexicans?
The recipe for tortillas is maize (ground corn) and water as it has been handed down for generations.
What Is Water soaks into the ground called?
The water that soaks in ground called as ground water .
Difference between ground and neutral?
As i know,neutral is the return path of current & ground is for any leakage current

What is under ground water?
ground water
How does water go under the ground to become ground water?
the ground obsorves the water so then there is no mre water left but it is in the water
What 's the type of unwanted current flowing in a neutral conductor?
A leakage current to ground indicates that the ground is not truly an earth ground. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is designed to detect such leakage current and cut off the device from its supply voltage.
From what source does a water well get water?
From the ground, which is called Ground Water.
