Earthing is the process of connecting the exposed metal parts of an electrical circuit to the ground
Usually an electric appliance such as a heater, an iron box, etc. are fitted with all the three wires namely live, neutral and earth. The earth wire is connected to the metallic body of the appliance. This is done to avoid accidental shock. Suppose due to some defect, the insulation of the live wire inside an electric iron is burnt then the live wire may touch the metallic body of the iron.
