Electrical. Generally there will be an entrance on the hand and an exit on the foot.
A burn itself does not typically cause entry and exit wounds; those are more characteristic of penetrating injuries, such as gunshot wounds. However, in the case of electrical burns, there can be points of entry and exit where the electrical current enters and exits the body, potentially causing severe tissue damage along its path. This can resemble the features of an entry and exit wound but is fundamentally different from traditional burn injuries.

White phosphorus and similar materials including magnesium flares can burn straight through an extremity.
