If you touch a live wire with rubber gloves and rubber soled shoes will you get shocked?

yeeee :)


Does cold weather affect a rubber band?

yes it does because from all the warm,hot,cold,rainy weather it does affect it if there was lighting it would shocked the rubber band to have cracks or marks or it can sometime pull out the rubber band


Will wearing rubber shoes save you from lightning?

Maybe, maybe not. Rubber shoes (such as rubber boots) can help prevent electrocution because rubber has a high resistance to the flow of electricity. Electricity needs a path to the ground, so if it can't get through your feet, then you won't be electrocuted. However, it's important to note that while rubber has a very high impedance, this doesn't mean it's invincible to electricity. Lightning carries an extremely high voltage. High-voltage electricity can arc - jump from one place to another. If, for example, you're standing near a grounded object and you're struck by lightning while wearing rubber boots, the lightning could strike you and then arc to the nearby object, thus electrocuting you. If someone has been electrocuted by an electrical outlet and you need to pull them away from the source, you could use rubber boots while standing on a newspaper and then use a wooden pole to push them away from the outlet before attempting rescue and resuscitation. However, if you're outside in a lightning storm, rubber boots or no, it's best to get into a safe structure and get out of the open.


If someone touches you while being shocked by a tazer will you get shocked?

Nope


Will a rubber band repel to a magnet?

No. Rubber is (partly) a distillation of the tree-sap from rubber-trees, which obviously does not mean that it couldn't be magnetic. Magnetism is usually found in metals, not organic compounds like tree-sap. The molecular disorder in compounds like rubber make them difficult to magnetize, whereas metals like iron, some steels, and certain rare-earth alloys are eager to align their constituent atoms with magnetic fields (thereby becoming magnetic themselves). It's important to note that this resistance to magnetization by compounds like rubber is closely associated with their poor electrical conductivity. This is why electric-utility workers wear rubber boots.
