Does electric shock occur in space?
An electric shock could occur in space. One thing to keep in mind about electrical shocks is that if the body provides a return path for current to flow then an electrical shock will occur. It does not matter if it is in space or on earth, touching a potential across the output supply on a high voltage system is going to short circuit the supply through you.
A coil of 8 ohm parallel with coil of 20 ohm This is connected in series with 12 ohm resistor If the whole circuit is connected across a battery having emf of 30V internal resistance of 2ohm whats v?
v of what? v across what? v measured from what 2 points? v across the coils? v across the resistor? v across the coils and resistor? v across the battery? v across the battery and coils? v across the battery and resistor? or are you asking what v stands for? v stands for voltage.
A 40W bulb or a 60W bulb will glow more brighter if connected in series?
The 40-W lamp will be the brighter, because it has a greater resistance that the 60-W lamp and, therefore, will experience a greater voltage drop across its terminals. The closer the voltage drop is to the lamp's rated voltage, the brighter it will be.
What is the maximum resistance you want to see across a switch?
The maximum resistance across a switch should be infinite.
When temperature increases voltage across diode with constant current?
The voltage across a semiconductor diode (and across the base/emitter junction of a transistor) decreases as temperature increases: the actual figure is -2mV/°C.

How does shuffling feet across a carpet produce electricity?
Your feet get electrons from the substance of the carpet which produces electricity. Try touching someone afterwards.
