Earth Is a very good conductor or very good insulator.? If
a good conductor then why current donot flow through small
piece f earth and if a good insulator then why we use it as
return path in lines.???
Answer Posted / tariq
Yes earth is a good conductor. But to use earth as a
conductor there are specific methods e.g. earthing etc.In
other words we can say that without moisture the earth acts
as an insulator but when there is moisture the the earth
behave like a good conductor.So, in a small piece of earth
if there is moisture then it will act as a conductor.
