Did you know? Electricity seeks the quickest path back to its source or to the earth. In a properly working system that means through the wires and appliances. But a poor connection or loose wire can cause power to travel through a person's body. Grounding and polarization are features of modern electrical systems that are designed to keep electricity in the system and out of people.
Houses built since the 1920's use polarized receptacles. Polarized receptacles keep the external surfaces of appliances and fixtures on the ground side of the current. That way, if you touch them, you won't become the ground for a hot surface.
As long as it is wired correctly - with the white wire connected to the terminal with the long slot - a polarized receptacle ensures that current will not present on the surface of a fixture. This reduces the possibility of shock during a short circuit.
A grounded receptacle gives short-circuited electricity an unbroken path to the earth. In most cases, the power will go to the ground and not through somebody's body. The third prong in a grounded plug fits into the round hole in the receptacle, which is connected through a wire or metal sheathing to the neutral bar of the service panel. The neutral bar is connected to the earth.
