ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Neutral and ground

Neutral and ground are like the good guys who protect you from electricity. Think of them like your parents who keep you safe in your house.

Neutral is like the messenger who helps electricity get to your house. It's not dangerous, but it's important because without it, the electricity can't come to your house to power your lights, TV, and other things.

Ground is like the superhero who jumps into action when something goes wrong. It's like a backup plan in case there's too much electricity in your house. Ground helps to safely send the extra electricity out of your house and back into the ground where it can't hurt anyone.

So remember, neutral is the helper who brings the electricity, and ground is the hero who saves the day if something goes wrong. Both are important and work together to keep you safe.
