Solution

Hello!
A Jellyfish doesn't carry electricity inside its body, that's a misconception. It is primarily composed of water and when it bites it shoots a venom in to its pray. The pray interprets it as a electric shock due to sudden pain it experiences.

So, the jellyfish is in no danger of accidentally electrocuting itself.
