You die or get severe injuries and your probably wandering why.....
Why? because water is a good conductor for electricity(a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge, mostly metal stuff are good conductors)
And that allows the electricity to enter your body when touched.

∙ 13y agoBecause both dry and wet skin are conductors of electricity, eith way one can still sustain an electric shock. However, if one;s hands are wet or damp, the skin conducts electricity much easier, hence larger electric currents can flow through the body.

Why you get an electric shock if you touch live and neutral wire?
Because there is a potential difference between the live and neutral wires.
What is the third green wire on an electric drill is the wire?
it is the earth wire
What is The third green wire on an electric drill is the?
It is earth wire
What will cause electric motor to shock you when you touch it?
The motor winding has gone to ground internally. The ability of the motor to shock you is caused by the ground wire missing or not connected. It is this ground wire that trips the breaker in short circuit conditions and disconnects the motor from the distribution system.
How can a bird go on a wire and not die?
Birds don't get electrocuted unless they touch something else besides just the wire -- the electricity will then flow through their bodies toward whatever they're touching. Sometimes you do see birds that have been killed by the electric wires.
Is the white wire safe to touch?
Never assume that any electric wire, no matter what color it has, is safe to touch.
What happens if you touch ininsulated wire?
nothing happens if the thing attached to it is not turned on, you get electrified if it is on
What happens to copper wire because of the moving magnet?
The copper wire carries an electric current.
What happens when electric current passes through a coil of wire?
A magnetic field generates around the wire.
What happens if a human being hang on street electric wire?
they ll roasted
When a wire is made smaller the resistance increases. what happens to electric current?
increase
Why would you not get an electric current if you hold a piece of wire in your hands?
Because there is no potential difference (voltage) between your hands. You can observe that easily if you have a voltmeter: Hold one probe in each hand, and read the voltage between your hands. The current in the wire is (voltage between the ends of the wire) divided by (resistance of the wire). If voltage=0, then current=0.
Can birds touch each other while sitting on electric wire?
Yes. Because birds do not conduct electricity.
Why you get an electric shock if you touch live and neutral wire?
Because there is a potential difference between the live and neutral wires.
'What happens when a live electric wire falls into a river'?
The wire becomes connected to earth. In most situations this would result in a blown fuse.
What happens if neutral and hot touch each other?
If a "hot" wire contacts the "neutral" or ground wire, electrical current flows to the ground.
Will you get an electric shock if you touch a live electric wire or live bulb holder of a flying aeroplane?
Yes but only if you are in contact with the hull of the hull of the aeroplane. i.e. earthed.
