While grounding electrons are moved to the earth which protects us from electric shock but why this process not happen daily (i.e.without any malfunctioning in the circuit),so when the circuit do grounding??

Dear Student ,
The circuits are always grounded so that if any moment malfunctioning of the circuits do happen then we can control it or can save the electrical appliances using at that time .
