Earthing: Earthing is used to protect against the unwarranted spikes and bouts of electricity as these are a threat to life. Earthing is done by installing an earth wire from the device to the ground. Earth wire is used to provide a very low resistance path for the flow of current to ground. By this, a person will not get the shock.

Grounding: With the help of Grounding, insulation against accidental currents is obtained. The main wire is connected to the power supply and another part of the wire is under the bed. It avoids overloading and other dangerous effects.
