What is the difference between earthing,ground&nutral?

Answer Posted / mahesh gajera

In electrical engineering, ground or earth may be the
reference point in an electrical circuit from which other
voltages are measured, or a common return path for electric
current, or a direct physical connection to the Earth.

Neutral is a common return path for electric current, but
not directly connected to the earth.
