... Grounding is what happens when the suppior authority deside to take your shit away because your to smart, obviously your not one of these people !
(this is the second post see the fist one first) So what earthing does is to reduce the voltages but will maintain the difference in voltage. this will reduce the voltage flowing in ur devices so ur devices would not damage or will work with full capacity (eg. in pc it may corrupt memory). also it will reduce the magnetic fields made by the current.
its really simple. as some one all ready comment one of the reasons is to stop people from being shocked. Also if u know that voltage is the potential difference then in a circuit the voltages could be really high but the difference between voltages is small. See next comment ( it continues)
Actually earthing /grounding is there for functional earthing ( so computers + i.t stuff can work) or to protect persons from shock/ fire protection and livestock, yeah live stock is a weird one, lol look at the 17th edition wiring regs (uk) bs 7671 2008,

To answer the question, WHAT IS IT? Grounding is the process in which elecricity is given and alternate route to travel to ground in case there is a short in the circuit. if tere was a short in say your common household outlet, you would be electricuted if you touched any metal piece in contact with the short because you would become the quickest way for the electricity to reach ground. If there is a grounding wire you would not complete the circuit and in theory would not get electricuted.
lol that was mediocre at best my friend .... The whole point of grounding is to allow somewhere for electricity to go in case of a short in the circuit. Now, the the most common type of grounding is not done by those plates, it is only used in instances where there is no water main to attach the ground wire to. ALL electrical circuits must be grounded, not just in home and office.
Mine is done off my copper pipes. It works because the earth has a negative charge, which means electricity naturally flows to it. If you can make it flow to the ground through a copper line or pipe rather than through, well, you for instance, or yuor dog, then that'd be a good reason for needing it. By the way, nobody really seems to know nature of the generator which continually maintains a negative charge on the surface of the earth. That help, drajzman?
Ya but that wasn't the question. The question was "What is it?", not "Why it works and why you need it?" He gave a general answer of "What is grounding/earthing?".
Yes. You can get a shock whenever there's a potential difference (voltage) between yourself and whatever object you might come in contact with. There's probably always a non-zero potential between any two objects but a shock only occurs if that voltage is high enough to allow current to flow. The ground acts to minimize stray charge on your devices which also minimizes the potential (voltage) between them and other objects - this reduces the chance of shock.
Years before I was born here in the Uk, we used to go for the metal rod grounding solution, but we scrapped that and routed all the grounding wires to the fuse box (away from the live electrics of course) and then joined the wires into one, which is sent into the ground!
i dont think its a webcam buddy, more than likely an HD video recorder because he is so up to date with technology. Although, he needs to get a widescreen format one now...
You're getting ESD and shorting confused and shorting is something different to ESD. A true short circuit is where there is a path of no resistance between two conductors with a potential difference. ESD is where a static buildup is discharged to ground.
your talking about ESD discharge and it does not short anything, it will damage it or "fry" it, shorting is where you bypass something by creating a path of lower Resistance, and shorting does not allways mean a bad thing and wont allways hurt something, sometime it is done on purpose.
There is another way for earthing.. When you build a house you use metal to support the concrete.. you can just attach the wire to the iron body it would be fine.
Us in England have had this in our mains plug sockets for quite some time :D Don't people get taught this at school? And if not why have they not picked it up along the way in life... Even when i was 10 i knew exactly what this was.
yer everyones does. there's a positive and negative and a ground. you normaly have thr rod or a plate. in our case a plate which was dug up by plumbers ^^ so it would have been a lil dangerous to use electrical equiptment incase of a surge. but this is in australia.
Technically positive and negative are terms for a DC circuit. Mains current is AC so the terms Live (Hot wire in the US) and Neutral are used. The current in the live wire fluctuates between above and below ground so in layman's terms sometimes it's positive, sometimes it's negative.
Why all the negative feedback for this guy? He's right!! All metal objects in a building should be bonded together so they remain and the same ground potential to prevent you getting a shock.
Just goes to prove there's some clueless people that don't know what they're talking about if they're giving me negative feedback. It's not like I'm talking out of my rear, I'm an ITS installer/tech that does communications installs for a living. These clueless people need to do a little reading up on TIA/EIA 607 standard (grounding and bonding).
lol, my house isn't grounded because it was built in the 1900s. I guess I'm part of a third world suburb. hahah, awesome to know, I better go to menards and buy a large metal rod and some wire.
nono your thinking of 12 yr olds... for some reason kids just suddenly get retarded at that age, then snap out of it later. a 10 yr is waay smarter than a 12 yr old.
