>electrical difference is 0 between neutral and ground
true in circumstances where there is no continuity between hot and neutral. if there is continuity, there is no meaningful difference in voltage or amperage between the hot conductor and neutral conductor - touching one of them while you are grounded will cause the same harm as touching the other
>applied end of a multi-outlet
i have no clue what you mean by "applied end" or what you mean by multi-outlet i haven't ever heard those words used in the field. are those like engineering terms? do you mean a duplex or quadplex receptacle or something? the way i drew it (redrew it for clarity if it helps) is how multiple receptacles are wired in a circuit (parallel; either splices inside the wall outlet with a pigtail from each to its respective terminal, or if there are enough terminals, the respective wires attached through the busses on the receptacle itself). i drew it this way to show that it is possible to cause a ground fault by porking the neutral bus of a receptacle IF the circuit is complete at a different receptacle on the same outlet. i've gotten zapped this exact way before (it was my hand not my penis, my finger slipped while i was working on a live outlet)
