Solution

Our body is a good conductor of electricity; hence, we are advised to wear rubber slippers when handling an electrical appliance so as to protect ourselves from electrical shocks. Rubber, being an insulator or bad conductor of electricity, acts as an open switch that does not allow the electrical current to flow through our body.
