This usually only happens on primary poles. The secondary does not have a high enough potential to make the jump to ground. The primary insulators have a crack in them and the high voltage is tracking across the crack to the pole and then to ground. If you have less resistance than the pole to ground where you touch it, you will feel a slight tingle.
Water can be a conductor of electricity if it has any kind of salt or ionic compound dissolved in it. Very pure water is a poor conductor. But remember, since human sweat does contain salt, if you personally are touching water, you are also increasing its conductivity yourself.
Because rain water is impure,impurities are present in rain water it allows the current to flow through electric pole,that's why we get current during rain
rain water contains acids and salts. these compound make it electrolyte. that is why electric shock is felt by the people from the electric poles during or after the rain.
Electricity tends to travel towards the ground. when we touch an electrical substance, our body acts as a conductor and the current passes through our body to the ground. this is how we get an electric shock.
StaticYes, it stays put, doing nothing until released by an outside force.
There can be a build up of static electricity on a car, especially on dry days. Static electricity is caused when electrons are knocked off when two objects rub against each other. The electrical charge is discharging itself to the Earth through you.You can get the same shock by dragging your feet across a nylon carpet and then touching someone; or rubbing a comb against your hair and putting it next to small pieces of paper; a plastic pen rubbed on your hair and then held close to a small stream of water will attract the water stream due to static electricity. Hair has to be clean and conditions have to be dry.
We hace electric descharge
The friction of your feet on a carpet generates static electricity. When you then touch the metal doorware its earths through you causing the charge to pass to the door.
When current flows in a conductor you do not get an electric shock provided you do not touch the conductor.
Nobody can safely touch the injured person during shock delivery. If anyone does, the shock will be transmitted to that person.
No. Touching a live electric current is never a good idea.
Stay inside and whatever you do, don't touch anything metal. Metal is conductive and may pass the electric on to you, which will electrocute you.
As long as the person who received the electric shock is NOT connected to the electric supply that caused the incident and you are not in a situation where you are at rise of injurty by the electric or any other situation then you can contune to provide first response help.

The electric light bulb would not turn on because it was burnt out.
From the accumulation of static electricity during dry weather.
No one!
Pretty much everywhere.
An electric shock can be useful to the body in these two situations:A Defribrilator - Used to restart a patient's heart if it stops beating.A Pacemaker - Used to send electrical impulses to the heart at certain timings to make it beat properly.
The person touching the victim will also receive an electric shock (not as powerful as the victim but a shock none the less).
