==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The '''earth wire''' is an [[Wire|electrical wire]] found in [[3-Core]] that is connected to ground giving it a [[Electrical Potential|potential]] of 0V.
===About Earth Wires===
: The [[Earth Wire|earth wire]] is covered in yellow and green stripped [[Plastic (Material)|plastic]] [[Electrical Insulator|insulator]].
: The [[Earth Wire|earth wire]] improves the safety of [[Electrical Appliance|electrical appliances]].
: The [[Earth Wire|earth wire]] is connected to the [[metal]] case of an [[Electrical Appliance|electrical appliance]] so that if the [[Live Wire|live wire]] breaks and touches the [[metal]] the [[Electrical Current|current]] will go down the [[Earth Wire|earth wire]] and cause the [[Electrical Fuse|fuse]] to break.
