The reference point for zero electrical potential. An AC voltage swings positive and negative in relation to the earth (or ground) potential. Electricity generating stations literally have a robust connection into the ground to set this level. Early radios used an earth connection to a moistened metal stake in the garden or connection to metal water pipes. A Good Earth was essential in a radio to allow for the maximum potential difference to be built up in an aerial receiving radio waves.
