What I don't understand is why all the "ground" [England uses "earth"] screws are green. Any fool knows that the ground is brown. All that slimy geen stuff is just surface vegetation, AstroTurf or pond scum. If you dare use a shovel, you'll quickly observe that the ground is really brown.
Therefore all ground screws must be painted brown.
Now that you mention it, European colors for cords are blue for the grounded conductor and brown for the hot.

It should be the other way around - the brown for ground, and blue for hot, high up, like the sky. A stretch?

Where does electricity go? Nuetral wire, to bus to ground rod to earth. Now......here's my question (earth) is elect trying to find the core of the earth? Why does it have to make its way down.
Jonathan, all sarcasm aside, give this post a read: http://forums.mikeholt.com/showpost.php?p=708650&postcount=4


It came from this thread: http://forums.mikeholt.com/showthread.php?p=708650#post708650

. . . and plus you guys make my day with your sarcastic and sometimes utterly irrelevant remarks.
Was that a sarcastic and utterly irrelevant remark? :grin:


Actually, everyone, I think that was meant as a genuine compliment.

Your premise is wrong when taking Einstein's E=MC? into account. :D
Einstiens famous equation does nothing to disprove this premise. Einstien merely said that matter is concentrated energy.

you should have given # 3 But can be converted from one form to another. electricity is present everywhere what we use is electric energy which is a product of electromotive force (volts) which moves an electron from one atom to another this flow of electrons is measured in amperes.
