If the wire is carrying an electrical current, and if the current has enough voltage, the current can leave the wire and pass through your body. This is painful, and can causes burns or death.
If your body is not grounded to create a path back to the distribution panel, nothing will happen. If your body is grounded then you will receive an electrical shock.
Nothing if your body is not grounded, if your body is grounded you will receive an electrical shock.
you will be electricuted
If the exposed wire grounds out and a great amount of heat is produced then yes a fire could start under this condition. Remember overhead transmission wires are exposed wires but are well insulated from ground so as not to have the above scenario happen.
NO it is dangerous.
the hot wire carries the electrical voltage
Never assume that any electric wire, no matter what color it has, is safe to touch.
A jumper wire should use to bridge electrical ground across?
If a "hot" wire contacts the "neutral" or ground wire, electrical current flows to the ground.
Dont touch the water!!! Water is a conductor so the water would basicly act like an exposed wire. You will be shocked!

because if you touch a wire you might get electrocuted
nothing happens if the thing attached to it is not turned on, you get electrified if it is on

Wire nuts don't disable an electrical connection you have to kill the power for that. What they do is isolate the wires so that the positive and negative wires don't touch and protect you from a bear electrical connection.
Electricity seeks the fastest path to the ground. If a live wire happens to touch the ground most often the line will "ground out" and cause the electricity to flow into the ground. This can cause breaks and circuits to break and cause other electrical malfunctions.
yes
as a cu wire is a conductor, electrical current does go through it, but some of the electrical energy gets converted into heat energy, and that is why the wire aslo heats up a bit.
Water, Wood, Metal, Copper wire, make sure if these have electricity running through them, do not touch!
