Question

Electrical appliances should not be operated with wet hands. Give reasons.

Answer 1

1. Small amounts of mineral salts present naturally in water are beneficial for human health.
2. However, these salts make water conducting.
3. So, we should never handle electrical appliances with wet hands or while standing on a wet floor.
4. Thus a person with wet hands touching electrical appliances gets an electric shock.

Hence, it is dangerous to touch an electric appliance with wet hands.
