No ... unless it is damp or wet... Remember that you can get shocked by touching a single bare wire if you happen to be standing on a damp or flooded floor of a building or on bare earth.
If you happen to touch two bare wires at the same time, you could then be completing the electrical circuit that would normally be connected to a switch or socket outlet.
For safety's sake, be sure to turn off the circuit breaker - or remove the fuse - for the associated wiring before you ever attempt to do any work on it.
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO A JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THE WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Something like that happened to me. I was lying in bed about to fall asleep. Not touching anything electrical. Just as I was falling into a dream, I heard a "snap" or crack and felt a powerful shock on my finger.
A little while later, I realized I had a ring on that finger, and no other jewelry on my body. Has that happened to anyone else?
probably if that piece of metal can conduct electricity and is being struck by lightning whilst you are touching it so it's best not to do that or.......OUCH!!!!!!!!

No, you can not because the plastic or rubber keeps the electrical charges from rubbing together.
AnswerBecause, it is a good insulator and won't conduct electricity. It is also flexible.It coated by rubber or plastic
electrical conducters are madfrom metal because charges can travel through metal but rubber is a insulator so the charges cant get throught it so wires are covered with rubber for safety reasons so you don't get a shock.
In order for it to lose its effect you have to put an insulator around it, such as rubber or plastic.
There are a variety of wire coverings depending on what the conductor is used for. There are also different wire coverings for different temperatures where the conductor will be used. To answer the question the wires in a circuit are covered in insulation.
Almost anything non-metallic.such as Glass plastic,rubber,etc

plastic or rubber is on the outside of an electrical cord or circuit so that you do not get shocked. rubber and plastic help to repel the electricity, while if you were just touching plain wires, they would shock you.

Rubber or plastic.
The metal utilized to create electrical wire is called copper electrical and it used to be covered in rubber, but now only extension cords are covered in rubber.

Plastic and rubber are used to cover electrical cords on most commonly used household electrical devices. You can also find rubber covers under the hood of your car that are used as thermal insulators.

most baseballs are covered with leather. some of them are covered with plastic and rubber. these are the bad ones
Rubber, Glass, Plastic, Porcelain, etc.
Many - rubber, plastic, ceramics, glass.
False.. no. It is completely opposite. That is why it is good to wear rubber boots in thunder and lighting storms.
Because metal conducts heat so it get hot, therefore it is cover with plastic/rubber (which don't conduct heat) to stop you burning yourself! :)
