eli5: Whats the purpose for the ground wire?

1.06K views

I understand if we touch the wire and were are on the ground it creates a complete circuit. So we get electrocuted.

But how does the ground or earth wire works, so that we don’t get electrocuted?

I guess we’re not even going to get into the fact that electricity flows from, not to, ground.
