You naturally jerk away from an electric shock, like a static shock you can produce when the humidity is low in your house. Taking a shock from a higher power source affects the muscle tissue involved because the nerves all through the tissue conduct the electricity and trigger muscle contraction. If the current is high enough, it can burn the tissue. If you grab a wire that is live with a DC source, you may be able to force your muscles to let go of the wire. If the wire you grab is driven by an AC source, your muscles will contract, relax, contract, and relax at the frequency of the source. You may not be able to let go of the wire. This is why you NEVER get near downed power lines, even if they look dead. ALWAYS treat electrical circuits as if they are live.

What material would not be good for insulating against electric shock?
Materials that conduct electricity, such as metals and water, would not be good for insulating against electric shock. These materials allow electricity to flow through them, increasing the risk of electric shock. Insulating materials like rubber or plastic are better choices for providing protection against electric shock.
Why do two objects repel each other?
Two objects repel each other due to the interaction of their electric charges. Like charges (positive-positive or negative-negative) repel each other because the electric force between them is repulsive. This repulsion is governed by Coulomb's law.

What is the difference from static shock and electric shock?
Static shock is a sudden discharge of static electricity, often felt as a mild tingling or stinging sensation when touching an object. Electric shock, on the other hand, is the flow of electric current through a person's body, which can result in injury or even death depending on the intensity and duration of the shock. Static shock is generally harmless, while electric shock can be dangerous.
