Why is the earth pin in a 3-pin plug the longest and the
thickest?
Answer Posted / vidhyashivani
Since resistance is inversely proportional to the area (R = 1A) it provides a low resistive conducting path for the current flowing through it.
The earth wire is made long because it must be long enough to connect to the metal plate placed inside the earth from the appliance.

How to calculate multiplication factor in kva example 500kva ans pls ?
I'm generating a pulse of 3V with frequency 80Hz (12.5ms time period) and pulse duration 0.125ms and feeding it to a transformer since i want the pulse to get amplified around 60V. At the output amplification s happening but the pulse is changed to a spike, can you tell me what could be the reason? (an ordinary transformer 220V-12V stepdown transformer is reverse connected ie. now it is 12V-220V stepup and voltage amplification happens)
