Question

Electric potential of earth is taken to be zero, because the earth is a good : (A) semiconductor (B) dielectrics (C) insulator (D) conductor

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Earth is considered as a good conductor of huge size. If we give a small charge to earth, its potential does not change hence, potential of earth is taken as zero because of its conducting nature.
