Can you get electrical shock if you are touching a wire covered in plastic in rubber?
No ... unless it is damp or wet... Remember that you can get shocked by touching a single bare wire if you happen to be standing on a damp or flooded floor of a building or on bare earth.
If you happen to touch two bare wires at the same time, you could then be completing the electrical circuit that would normally be connected to a switch or socket outlet.
For safety's sake, be sure to turn off the circuit breaker - or remove the fuse - for the associated wiring before you ever attempt to do any work on it.
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO A JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THE WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What else can I help you with?
Why do electrical wires covered with rubber?
AnswerBecause, it is a good insulator and won't conduct electricity. It is also flexible.It coated by rubber or plastic
Why are electrical wires not made from plastic?
electrical conducters are madfrom metal because charges can travel through metal but rubber is a insulator so the charges cant get throught it so wires are covered with rubber for safety reasons so you don't get a shock.
What is the purpose of rubber or plastic insulation around appliance cords?
Rubber tends to not burn as easily as plastic. Also, rubber is more moisture-resistant than plastic. If rubber burns, the fumes from burning rubber are safer than fumes from burning plastic. Sometimes rubber is used because the cord tends to remain more flexible with rubber insulation.
What are wires in a circuit covered in?
There are a variety of wire coverings depending on what the conductor is used for. There are also different wire coverings for different temperatures where the conductor will be used. To answer the question the wires in a circuit are covered in insulation.
Why are the metal prongs of a plug sealed in plastic and rubber?
The metal prongs of a plug are sealed in plastic and rubber for insulation and safety purposes. This helps to prevent electrical shocks and short circuits by providing a protective barrier between the conductive metal prongs and the user.

Why is plastic or rubber needed for a circuit?
plastic or rubber is on the outside of an electrical cord or circuit so that you do not get shocked. rubber and plastic help to repel the electricity, while if you were just touching plain wires, they would shock you.
Why are electrical wires not made from plastic?
electrical conducters are madfrom metal because charges can travel through metal but rubber is a insulator so the charges cant get throught it so wires are covered with rubber for safety reasons so you don't get a shock.
Metal used for electrical wire?
The metal utilized to create electrical wire is called copper electrical and it used to be covered in rubber, but now only extension cords are covered in rubber.

What's a baseball covered with?
most baseballs are covered with leather. some of them are covered with plastic and rubber. these are the bad ones
What are some ways rubber and plastic are used as electrical and thermal insulators?
Plastic and rubber are used to cover electrical cords on most commonly used household electrical devices. You can also find rubber covers under the hood of your car that are used as thermal insulators.

What are for good electrical insulators?
Rubber, Glass, Plastic, Porcelain, etc.
What would be the best electrical insulator?
Many - rubber, plastic, ceramics, glass.
What prevents conductors from touching each other or ground?
Insulators prevent conductors from touching each other or the ground by providing a barrier that does not allow electricity to flow through it. Insulators, such as rubber or plastic coatings, help to maintain the desired electrical paths and prevent short circuits or shocks.
Are plastic and rubber good electrical conductors?
False.. no. It is completely opposite. That is why it is good to wear rubber boots in thunder and lighting storms.
An example of an electrical insulator is?
Rubber is an example of an electrical insulator. Rubber does not conduct electricity well because its electrons are tightly bound to the atoms, making it difficult for them to move freely and carry an electric current.
