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.
When two objects are touching each other, the net force between them is zero if they are at rest or moving at a constant velocity. The forces between the objects are balanced, leading to no acceleration.
When two atoms come into contact, it is their electron clouds that interact. Electrons from each atom repel each other due to their negative charge, creating a repulsive force that prevents the atoms from physically touching.
Ground is a fair conductor of electricity due to its high conductivity property. It is commonly used in electrical systems to provide a safe path for electrical currents to flow to Earth in case of a fault or surge. However, other materials like metals are better conductors compared to ground.
Static friction is typically greater than kinetic friction. When two stationary systems are touching, the static friction between them prevents motion. Once they start sliding past each other, the static friction is overcome and kinetic friction comes into play, which is usually lower than static friction.
Conductors
I have found that anything under ground can go bad after a while. But the worst thing for under ground pipes is for it ( copper ) to be touching each other and touching cement or rocks
You can stand on bare ground tile or any other conductors (water, aluminum, etc.)
A buffer prevents two things from touching or meeting, such as the buffer between two people keeps them from meeting and potentially harming each other.
To prevent the wire from getting short circuited to ground or even to other wires.

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.
Yes, 1 conductor is live, the other neutral (just like a normal plug)
Check the wires that you cut, they may be touching each other or shorting to ground.
The conductor is metal, usually copper today, but some applications use aluminum. The conductors "conduct" the current. The insulation protects the wire from damage and keeps you from getting shocked and keeps the conductors from touching each other and thereby causing a short circuit.
They are used to trace wiring. There may be multiple conductors in a bundle that are unmarked, or perhaps unmarked wires that go to different locations. The tone generator is connected to a pair of conductors (or one conductor and ground), and the probe is used to find the same conductor on the opposite end. The probe is used to look for the conductor that is carrying the tone. In a bundle of conductors, or several conductors in a raceway, the tone may be induced, or "bleed" into other conductors. In this case, the desired wire has the strongest tone. Connecting the generator to one conductor and ground tends to induce the signal into other conductors. Toning a pair, with neither one grounded, is the most selective, making identification more sure.
A ground fault occurs when an electrical current flows to the ground due to a fault in the wiring or equipment. An arc fault, on the other hand, is a high-energy discharge of electricity between conductors, which can cause fires.
