Question

a. Why should we wear rubber slippers while working with electrical devices?

Answer 1

• The human body is a good conductor of electricity. Hence, while handling electrical devices there is a possibility that we may get an electric shock.
• Slippers are made up of rubbers that are bad conductors of electricity. Thus wearing slippers while handling electrical devices prevents a large amount of current from passing through the body.

Final answer: To avoid electric shocks we should wear rubber slippers while working with electrical devices
