Forgive me, I should still be very ignorant in electronics; I have not
even graduated high school yet.
I hear people are surprised about
the lack of knowledge of what ground is. I am not. There is an
appalling lack; it reminds me of the way people treat netmasks in
routing tables, where almost all of the material is complete bullshit;
learned things the hard way...Since there is a wire in the circuit
going into the ground, how does the circuit work? Wouldn't this create
an open circuit? Moreover, if the ground is on the negative terminal
(as I usually hear it is), how can it be zero Volts? Why is there no
difference of potential? Lastly, is it true that current is usually
not flowing through a ground wire? If so, why? If it's connected to
the circuitry, shouldn't it always have current flowing through it?
Very confusing...
