Summary

Description
English: Circuit diagram illustrating a ground loop. Two circuits share a common ground wire. The voltage of the ground connection, VG, should ideally be zero. However if the ground conductor has significant resistance, RG, the current flowing through it from circuit 1 will cause a voltage drop across it VG = I1RG. Since they share the ground wire, this voltage appears as unwanted interference in the second circuit: Vout = V2 + VG.
