Question on: SS1 Physics - Electricity and Circuits

Proper grounding is essential in electrical circuits to ensure safety and protect against electrical faults. Grounding provides a safe path for excess electrical current to flow into the ground, preventing electrical shocks and fires. Without proper grounding, electrical faults such as short circuits or equipment malfunctions can cause electrical current to flow through unintended paths, such as the human body. This can result in severe injuries or even fatalities.
