Current will flow to earth
Supply voltage will drop
Supply voltage will increase
No current will flow in the conductor
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is A. Current will flow to earth.
When a live conductor of public electric supply breaks down and touches the earth, a current will flow from the conductor to the earth. This is because the earth has a much lower resistance than the conductor, so the current will take the path of least resistance. The flow of current will cause the earth to become energized, and anyone who touches the earth will receive an electric shock.
Option B is incorrect because the supply voltage will not
