KNOW WHERE DOES ELECTRICITY GO AFTER GROUND !

We all know that every electrical equipment is grounded as a safety measure. The ground wire in an electric outlet is a safety valve; any undesired electricity (positively charged energy) flows to the ground and prevents us from shock. But have you ever imagined where this electricity goes from the ground? We will discuss about this in this article.

For clearly understanding this concept consider our household wiring system. To prevent static electrocution the grounding or earthing is done. Also the neutral passes through all household systems and is commonly collected near the transformer and grounded. Thus it returns through the source which produces it. See the below diagram for further explanation.

"Ground" is not where the electricity goes, it's just a term for zero potential. Household power is AC, so charge never really goes anywhere. The same amount of charge is drawn out from the Earth as is put back in. Electricity doesn't work by pumping an extra charge into something. We also know the law of conservation of energy that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. When you connect a circuit to the ground - it completes the circuit back to the source.
So, in short in order to complete the circuit it returns back to the source.
