In most instances the answer will be no. Fusing of equipment is usually in the range from 250 milliamps (1/4 amp) up to what ever amperage fuse is needed to protect the wire feeding the load. The following list will explain why.
Milliamp dangerous
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.
The "can" or metal case of an appliance is supposed to be grounded so if the "live" wire touches it then the breaker or fuse will trip open and remove the power to the wire to prevent the person touching the appliance from being shocked.
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.
Depends on the density of landmines where they live, lol.

So that the live wire is isolated when the fuse blows. If a fuse was placed in the neutral, the equipment would still be live when the fuse blows.
The ground wire is NOT there to stop a shock if you poke something in the live outlet.The idea is, that if you have a metal appliance, the metalwork is attached to earth, via this wire.Then if a fault happens in the appliance and a live wire touches the metalwork, there will be perfect short to earth. Massive current can flow and the fuse will blow, or RCD trip. This stops the metal being live and sitting there waiting for you to get shocked by it. It fails SAFE.
Yes you can, lice live in grass, so if you lay down in it, you can pick it up that way x
Live, neutral and earth. The supply is carried on the live and neutral, and the earth normally carries no current, but if there is a fault the earth is there as a safety factor and in some conditions it carries enough current to blow the fuse and make the circuit safe.
Nothing will happen , as the current always flows from higher potential to lower potential and if the person is touching only live wire then, there is no other path for the current to flow , but if the person touches the ground , the ground is at "0" potential, so, the current tries to flow from live wire to the ground via person , so the person gets shock in that case but not when a person is only touching the live wire and not the ground.
No - absolutely not!Fuses are there to protect against overcurrent in the event of a fault. The neutral is connected to earth at the supply company's source, usually at the transformer, so the difference between neutral and earth at the consumer's premises will only be a few volts (this is due to voltage drop in the supply cables). The fuse should be in the live, so if there's a live/earth or live/neutral fault, it will blow. If it was in the neutral, it would still blow for a live/neutral fault, but it would leave all wiring in the appliance live. However, for a live/earth fault, there would be no protection apart from any fuse further upline - probably of a higher rating, so there's a risk of fire and/or electric shock.Early electrical installations had fuses in live and neutral. The problem here is that if the neutral fuse blew first, the whole circuit would become live - so there should never be a fuse in neutral - under any circumstances.Always fit a fuse appropriate to the load current, and also ensure cabling is capable of taking the load current safely.I have come across several instances in Chinese consumer electronics of an internal fuse in the neutral. Amazingly, this junk carried a CE mark!
