Solution

An electric switch is an electrical appliance. It conducts electricity through its internal parts. When its internal parts are touched with naked hands, then it may cause an electric shock. Therefore, it should be touched with rubber gloves in hand because rubber can not conduct electricity. Hence, electricians wear rubber gloves while repairing a switch or any other electrical appliance.
