i kinda get it better now. So then why is a transformers impedance information so important? does it affect its effeciency?

I wiki'd it and I am still having some trouble understanding it. Is it basically like resistance for AC circuits? Then why is resistance still mentioned when talking about AC?

How does the circuit not flow to ground initially? I mean how does it detect that the path has less resistance?

I'm an EE student freshman yr. I don't quite understand grounding in circuits. Can someone explain it to me? I have a general idea but sometimes I just get lost. Even in AC, when you can plug a cord in with just hot and neutral and it would work but 3 prong plugs have a ground... is that...
