The neutral wire doesn't give an electric shock because it is the same potential as ground. That being said if you come in contact with the "hot" wire and the neutral or ground wire, you become the load and will receive a substantial shock.

Why netral wire doesn't give electric shock?
Because it conducts electricity only when it is connected to a "live' wire.
Why is it not advisable to handle electrical circuit with wet hand?
Water is a good conductor of electricity. Should your hands be wet while working with a live electric circuit, the odds are increased that you will accidentally complete a connection and give yourself an electric shock.
Can you give a sentence for the word neutral?
he was neutral in the war.
What is the minimum voltage that give shock to human body?
It depends on where the shock is applied. It also depends on what you mean by shock. This is not one of the things you should be experimenting with.
Why do you experience a shock in an open circuit?
You don't experience a shock in an open circuit. The only time that you can get a shock from an open circuit is when you act as a switch and close the circuit or you ground the circuit hot side to ground with your body. Current has to flow to give you a shock.
Why does the electric eel produce electricity?
Electric eels do glow. They also spark. An electric eel can give off quite a shock. The shock can be as high as 600 volts.
Which animal give electric shock when attacked?
Electric cuttlefish, eels, stingrays and Mongolian worm
Can animals and plants get electric shock?
animals can but i think if a plant did it would die because it has so much water in it.
Why did an mp3 give an electric shock when touched?

What is electrically neutral matter?
Electrically neutral matter is matter without a charge.
Can a radio give you an electric shock?
If your radio plugs into the wall outlet for power, then there are points inside it that would shock you if you were to touch them.
Would an mild electric shock cause nerve damage?

Can the current supplied by a dry cell give an electric shock?
no. if the cell is dry, the electric capacity also becomes dry and this does not affect the conductor.
Why netral wire doesn't give electric shock?
Because it conducts electricity only when it is connected to a "live' wire.
Why capacitors may pose an electric shock even in unpowered circuits?
Capacitors are used to store electricity in a circuit, so even when the circuit is unpowered, so long as it's still functional, it would still give off a small electric shock due to electric charge present in capacitor.
How do you find out if someone is lying to you?
You could ask them. Or you could give them the benefit of the doubt and believe and trust them.
