Solution
Precautions which must be taken while using electricity are as follows:
(1) We must ensure that the positive and negative wires of the electric circuit are not accidentally connected. If this happens, there will be a short circuit.
(2) All the wiring in the circuit should be done properly and tightly.
(3) All the wires should be insulated. The insulating layer on the wires should not be broken.
(4) Ensure that each electrical appliance must be connected with the earthing wire.
(5) One should wear rubber gloves and rubber shoes while dealing with the AC mains.
(6) Do not touch the switch, plug or socket with wet hands.
