Difference between earthing & grounding.?

Answer Posted / sarmadahmed

Grounding is used for referencing the voltage. A common point is taken.
Earthing is used for safety purpose, a conductor is connected to ground or any other safe medium, giving a low resistance path for current to pass as to avoid any effect of surges.
