Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Earth wire offers low resistance to the path of current and ensures that the body of the electrical appliance is at the same electric potential as that of the earth. Any leakage of current in the electrical appliances to their metallic body is immediately transferred to the earth through the earth wire. So, the user is protected from dangerous electrical shock.
The correct statement would be that the earth wire protects us from getting dangerous electric shocks.
