Question

In three-prong plugs, the third prong works as:

• A. Earth path
• B. Phase path
• C. Neutral path
• D. Both earth and neutral path

Hint:

The third prong in plugs is for safety grounding to protect against electric shocks.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In three-prong plugs, the third prong is designed as the earth path or ground connection. Its main function is to provide a safe path for electric current to the ground in case of a fault, preventing electric shocks and protecting users from electrical hazards. The other two prongs are for the phase (live) and neutral connections.
