In electrical engineering, ground or earth may refer to reference ground – a reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, earth ground – an electrically neutral node that
A typical earthing electrode (brown rod), consisting of a conductive rod driven into the ground, at a home in Australia. Most electrical codes specify that the insulation on protective earth conductors must be a distinctive color (or color combination) not used for any other purpose.

Voltage, also known as potential difference, electric pressure, or electric tension, is the difference in electric potential between two points. In a static electric field, it corresponds to the work

…In electrical engineering, ground or earth may refer to reference ground – a reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, earth ground – an electrically neutral node that has a lot of available charges (e.g. the physical ground of Earth), or common ground…
Batteries are sources of voltage in many electric circuits.
