If a conductor is connected to "ground", then what is the charge on it?

positive

neutral

negative

determined by other nearby charges


Sagot :

If the conductor is connected to the ground, then it has a neutral charge.

Earth acts as a zero potential ground. So when you connect a positively charged conductor to the ground, the positive charge flows into the ground, resulting in the flow of electrons from the ground to the conductor. A ground wire acts as protection against unstable currents.

Under normal circuit conditions, no current flows through the ground wire. However, when an electrical accident such as a short circuit occurs, the ground wire removes the unstable current from the electrical system and leads it to the ground. The ground wire can be finger-safe as long as there is no electrical surge that causes current to flow through the ground wire.
