How does earthing prevent electrical shock?

उत्तर
Local earthing provides us safety from electric shocking in the case of short circuiting. When excessive current flows through the live wire, it will pass to the earth through the earth wire. In the absence of local earthing, it may causes fire due to over heating of the live wire.
In the case of an electronic appliance, if its outer metallic body is earthed and by chance, if it happens to touch live wire, then metallic casing acquires the potential of the live wire and so any person touching it is likely to get a total shock. But if earthed, a heavy current flows and the fuse connected to the appliances blows off. Thus the person touching it does not get any shock.
