Where is earth wire connected to an electric iron?
If by chance the heating element gets contact with the metal body then because of earth wire connected to the iron would blow the fuse and so circuit would be broken immediately. So shocking hazard could be avoided. Where is earth wire connected to an electric iron? Terribly sorry. Earth wire has to be connected to the body of the iron box.
What is a wire that discharges excess electricity to the earth?
A wire that discharges excess electricity to the earth is called a grounding wire or a ground wire. It is used to prevent damage to electrical components and protect against electric shock by providing a path for the excess electricity to safely flow into the ground.
When use a 3-pin mains plug what is the biggest pin for?
On a UK three pin plug the two smaller prongs are Live (brown) and Neutral (blue). The Larger pin is for the Earth wire. This can prevent you getting an electric shock
What is the purpose of an earth wire in electrical systems?
The purpose of an earth wire in electrical systems is to provide a path for excess electrical current to safely flow into the ground, preventing electric shocks and reducing the risk of fire.
What is the third prong in plug for?
On a British plug it is the earth pin connected to the earth wire. This is safety feature to stop electric shock
How can a fuse prevent electric shocking?
fuse wire overheats and melts in plug and cuts off the supply of electric current.

What is purpose of the Earth wiring?
When there is too much current flowing through a circuit the earth wire will take the current away and prevent someone from getting an electric shock
Why do you need an earth wire in a plug?
The Earth wire is there to earth electrical devices that are not double insulated. If there was to be a malfunction in the appliance then you can get a really bad shock if an earth wire is not present. If there is any free electricity roming around then the earth wire will send it down to earth and to the main power station closest to the area instead of through your body. s aged 15

the metal casing of the electric kettle
What are the names of the three wires in a plug?
The three wires in a plug are typically called live, neutral, and earth wires. The live wire carries the current to the appliance, the neutral wire completes the circuit and carries the current back, and the earth wire is a safety feature to prevent electric shocks.
