what role neutral plays in electrical circuit? If neutral is not there what will be the effect..

Answer / bala

Since the neutral point of an electrical supply system is often connected to earth ground, ground and neutral are closely related. Under certain conditions, a conductor used to connect to a system neutral is also used for grounding (earthing) of equipment and structures. Current carried on a grounding conductor can result in objectionable or dangerous voltages appearing on equipment enclosures, so the installation of grounding conductors and neutral conductors is carefully defined in electrical regulations. Where a neutral conductor is used also to connect equipment enclosures to earth, care must be taken that the neutral conductor never rise to a high voltage with respect to local ground.
Neutral is a circuit conductor that carries current in normal operation, which is connected to ground (or earth).
