What will happen If you touch a live wire with one hand and the ground with the other hand while your feet are insulated?

Answer 1

The current will flow from the live wire to the ground, through both of your hands,

through both of your arms, and along several paths through the rest of your body

in inverse proportion to the resistance of each path.

With your heart and spinal cord pretty much on the geometrically direct path, your

chance of survival essentially boils down to the voltage on the live wire, how dry

the skin of your hands is, and how much of your skin touches the live wire and the

ground connection. If the live wire is part of the AC wiring in your house, and you

have a good firm grip on it, and the fingers of your other hand are wrapped around

a water pipe, I would not give you a 1% chance of seeing another day.

Answer 2

Electric current will flow through your body from the live wire to the ground, passing through your heart and vital organs. This can cause severe injury or even death due to electric shock. It is very dangerous to touch a live wire in any circumstance.
