Question

State whether given statement is True or False
Earth connection saves the user from electric shocks.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The current takes the path that is having less resistance . Hence lesser the resistance higher the current and higher the resistance lower the current. So in case of shock current passes though you. A normal person have a resistance of about $10\times {10}^3\Omega$ and as there is no different path for the current to move hence its passes to ground though you.

but in case a earth connection the current have almost no resistance path through the ground wire to the ground.

Therefore it helps in saving the user from electric shocks.
