Metal ladders can still conduct electricity even with rubber feet, so it's not safe to use them near electrical sources. It's recommended to use fiberglass or wooden ladders when working around electricity to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

Why are the prongs are made of metal but the cord is coated in rubber?

The prongs of an electrical cord are made of metal to efficiently conduct electricity, as metals like copper have high conductivity. In contrast, the cord is coated in rubber to provide insulation, preventing accidental electrical shocks and protecting the wires from damage. The rubber coating also enhances flexibility and durability, making the cord safer and more user-friendly.
