why earth hole size is biggest in plug point?

Answer Posted / nilesh shinde

as the resistance is inversaly proportional to the area of
cross section of the conductor. Due to increase in this
cross section the resistance of that path decreases and
leakage current of the equipment in case of fault can be
passed to earth safely.
