Question

Cylindrical components called "stitching vias" interface with a pair of components that are named for "power" and this process. This process names a copper foil "plane" in PCBs. This process names the bus on a breadboard denoted with a blue or black line. Three (20[1])slanted lines distinguish a "chassis" component for this process from the typical component depicted with three stacked (*) horizontal lines of decreasing length. Zero voltage is typically defined relative to the site of this process, and this process dissipates a build-up of static electricity. This process is performed by the third terminal on AC outlets. For 10 points, name this process in which excess charge is safely directed into the Earth. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: grounding [accept word forms, like grounded; accept ground plane or signal ground of chassis ground or Earth ground or earthing]
