Thanks for your answer? ✌

Gaurav Seth 5 years, 2 months ago

The metallic body of electric appliances is connected to the earth by means of earth wire so that any leakage of electric current is transferred to the ground. This prevents any electric shock to the user.

Reason

The metallic body is connected to the earth wire, that provides a low resistance conducting path for the current. Thus it assures that any leakage of current to the metallic body of the appliances keeps its potential to that of the earth and the user may not get a severe shock.
