Drawing electrons from the Earth

Take a 1:1 isolation transformer (60Hz). Connect ONE side of the
primary to the active of the power grid. Leave the other side
_disconnected_.

Connect one side of the secondary to a ground stake. Connect the other
side to a meter and back to ground.

Should the meter obtain a voltage reading due to electrons being drawn
from the earth as a result of the secondary coupling with the
potential field of primary?

** So only stray capacitance coupling exists.

Connect one side of the secondary to a ground stake. Connect the other
side to a meter and back to ground.

** So it monitors the secondary for AC voltage?

from the earth as a result of the secondary coupling with the
potential field of primary?

** Yep.

A few microvolts worth, for sure.

Wot a stupid question.
