Earthing is used to protect you from an electric shock. It does this by providing a path (a protective conductor) for a fault current to flow to earth. It also causes the protective device (either a circuit-breaker or fuse) to switch off the electric current to the circuit that has the fault.

Answer:
Explanation:
Earthing is the method in which the earthing wire which is in green color is connected with a metal plate deep in the earth near the house.
Earthing is to prevent the excess flow of current in the device from the mains voltage supply as a safety measure for metallic electric devices like refrigerator, toaster, fan , press.
It provides a low resistance path for the conducting path of the current to the metallic plate and ensures that there is no leakage of current and the user does not get a severe shock.
