Electric potential of earth is taken to be zero why?

Answered by admin @



Explanation:

The real Earth (the planet you are probably standing on) is electrically neutral. This means that it has the same number of electrons and protons, so their charges cancel out overall. Scientifically, we describe this by saying that the Earth has an Electric Potential of zero.

hope it works out
