Answer:

0 V

Step-by-step explanation:

The grounding conductor is used to provide a grounding connection for equipment and devices. Under normal conditions, the grounding conductor has no current passing through it and no voltage. During a fault, the grounding conductor serves as a pathway for current so that the device would not be damaged.

The ground serve as a reference potential (0 V) used for the flow of current from the source to the load.
